Recently, a friend used the word “ challenging” when telling me about their week and this past few days have felt challenging for my heart with one thing and another too.

I was trying to put it into words when telling Mr Lemon and settled on the following. I thought I’d share with you in case your hearts and minds are troubled right now too.

We get to choose our hard. What we allow to affect us, what we internalise and spend time reflecting on. It’s not easy at all in practice because we have feelings. We love. To what extent we let it affect us is a choice we have. But…“change” works differently.

Change will happen with or without you. Something at some point will shift and when it does you will have fewer choices than if you had made the changes first.

Change in charge. Change on your terms. Change fully present and accountable because you’re choosing your “hard”.

Everything passes with time.
