The Struggle Is Real

The Struggle Is Real

It is not the challenges of life itself that are ultimately problematic, just like it is not feelings that are the culprit –but rather how we respond to our feelings. Do we accept life’s challenges or rail against them? In that ups and downs are a natural part of life and a super-natural part of parenting, it makes more sense to accept the challenges and focus on our relationship with the struggle. Trying to get our parenting ducks in a row is insane. Instead, if we stay present in life’s instability, we ride the ride instead of being ridden by it.
