So…I’m my son’s hairstylist. While loading the dishwasher this morning, I was thinking about how much I’m dreading washing my son’s hair. Why? Because he HATES getting his hair touched at all. What’s more…this is how much hair he has:
So then, as I continued filling up the dishwasher, I realized hey, MAYBE if we go shopping for some cool bath tub toys today, I can distract him from the disdain of *gasp* his mom trying to take good care of his hair.
Is it gonna work? I don’t know. That’s not the point.
The point is, I realized how quickly a problem begets a solution. How quickly the shitty things that occur in our lives, can provide us a chance to create a beautiful upside.
My husband calls me a sour patch; it’s a fun term of endearment. But of course, I wouldn’t be me if I didn’t look deeper at this sour-sweet label. The truth is, this sweet and sour thing is a way of life, is it not?
Isn’t it a lot like night and day? Dark and light? Clean and dirty?
So the main point of this post if just a gentle reminder that no matter what issue you are facing right now…always remember…
WITHIN EVERY PROBLEM…LIES THE SOLUTION.
WITHIN EVERY OBSTACLE…LIES YOUR PATH TO GREATER STRENGTH.
Just look for it!
How do you find strength when life annoys you? Let’s talk about it in the comments.
