This is a screen shot taken from one of the videos I recorded this week… that I WAS going to release next week.

I AM NOT! NO WAY! I think I started this video by stating, “Hey, guys. Sorry for the crazy look and how tired and beaten up I seem… BUT… I AM! Life has been tough! This week has been one of the most difficult in a long time. This IS ME… at this moment.” This is MY REALITY at the moment and I AM OK with that!

I am OK with feeling beaten up and LOOKING like I haven’t slept in days. I am OK with the lines and creases and crevices all around my eyes and littered all around my face. I am OK with being ONLY 52 years but maybe LOOKING quite a few years older at present. This is me… and I am OK!

One of the BEST things for me in being JUST A BIT OLDER than some… 🙂 is that I have gained A LOT of perspective in my years on this Earth. One of the MOST VALUABLE perspectives I have gained in my years is that I NOW KNOW that even on my very worst, no good, terrible, horrible days… the Sun WILL return and I WILL comb my hair again and the lines on my face WON’T be QUITE as pronounced and my eyes WILL dance with lightness and the “smirk” WILL be there… Life WILL be good again… at some point… I just need to “keep moving forward.”

If there is one thing I would like younger people to know it is this. Life is NOT MEANT TO BE EASY! It IS HARD! It is DIFFICULT and it WILL BEAT THE HECK OUT OF YOU! Life is a BEAST… and sometimes it has very little mercy. BUT, Life is ALSO MAGICAL and BEAUTIFUL and will provide you with the smallest of moments that WILL MAKE EVERYTHING WORTHWHILE!

It’s OK to be down. It is OK to have some tough moments! Some tough weeks! Months! Heck, Years even! Nothing is guaranteed! But I CAN make this guarantee, and I BELIEVE I am correct. Life will make it up to you! It might be just the smallest of magical moments… but Life does WORK OUT… somehow! I promise! Wherever you are in Life’s journey, I hope you are doing the best you can… and simply being gracious with what you “can’t.” Be good to yourself. Be good to others. Be kind. Make this world a better place for all of us… because some of us are REALLY STRUGGLING… but WE WILL BE OK!
