Narrative of Sickness

Reminding yourself that you need to get better is perpetuating the narrative of sickness.

Existence is change, inherently, inevitably. Embracing life is embracing change. Things in this world will change without warning. Things we consider safe and stable today will vanish tomorrow.

Accept this as a fact of life.

To love is to lose in equal measure. To lose is to love in turn. Every journey upwards has its regressions downwards.

Fully embracing all that you are is the best way to bring this about, for you can be present to what happens and help it change through your intent.

It may sound like a subtle distinction between getting better from sickness and just changing but it's really all the difference. A plant is not sick just because it later grows into a bigger tree. Change is just simply what happens, and it can be recognized and embraced in order to fully, progressively align the self with whatever intent or goal.
