64. Finding Harmony in Life

Harmony in music is the combination of different chords to create a pleasing sound. 

You can find harmony in life too. Sometimes it feels it's all out of your control. That there is too much sadness and ugliness. There is some of that. There is also frustration, discomfort, and challenge. It's up to you to take all that's coming up and forming a pleasing and consistent whole - or harmony.

Harmony and happiness is possible, regardless of what is coming up. A lot comes down to your choice. In how you respond to what is coming up.

When you see the hard things as growth, it has a different meaning.

Your quick response is not always the best one. Anger comes quick. So does yelling when things are frustrating or uncertain. You can choose differently.

Your patience grows as you choose to pause. You feel that feeling of anger rushing up though you, ready to rage. You become aware of it and you let it move through you by being aware, calling it out. Then choosing to pause. To focus on your breath instead. It is always there. Your anchor. You can return to it. It is what helps those emotions of anger to move through you - emotions are energy in motion and meant to move through you.

You can then return to love.

You take those experiences as part of you. Being human is feeling all the different things. It's what makes us human. So many pieces to us. The more we embrace it. Finding harmony with it, the more happiness and wholeness we will feel.

Showing up this way is your own harmony. It gives others inspiration to show up better too. It makes relationships better. Family life flow. And shows children how to show up and be in the world.
