Saying Everything happens for a reason to anyone who has lost a loved one or gone through heartbreak recently is like asking to get your teeth punched in. It’s just plain ill advised.

I do not equate having faith with toxic positivity. If anything, faith has become the one thing that made me strong enough to be realistic, to embrace uncertainty, to overcome denial.

As usual, five stars, highly recommend.

All we have to do is admit that we are imperfect, release our grip on the lie that we have it all figured out, put our hands together, ask for help, and take a lot of deep breaths while we wait and see what happens. 

Easy, right? 

One thing I have had to admit and accept as I have experimented with finding faith - and I mean deeply accept - is the simple and disturbing fact that I don’t know what’s going to happen next. 

All the gurus of spirituality or self-help say this about the spiritual plane:

Do less, get more.

Pray more, do less, get more.

Have faith, let go, get more.

These are simple equations that none of us seem to trust.

We just have to.
