That is only when it feels like a purposeful path.

That's only when it is your path of fulfillment.

I am never talking about just grunting and forcing your way through when it is unaligned, not for you, out of obligation, because you're trying to prove yourself, because you're worried about what people think about you.

That's not the challenges I'm telling you to move through.

I'm talking about the soul challenges that are up-leveling you and expanding you.

Not the ego challenges that are trying to save face and trying to make sure that they don't look like a failure.

What I want to invite you is that completion is evolution.

Think about it.

Nature never clings.

Seasons never not change because they're worried about what people think.

Like winter comes around every year despite what people would like.

And, you know, trees don't grieve when the leaves release.

So we have to realize, and this is a big Buddhist teaching, is the nature of impermanence.

Every single thing in our reality is impermanent.

Down to this laptop I'm speaking into right now.

Like, I'm actually just about to buy a new one.

By the way, how long do laptops meant to last these days?

I swear they used to last longer.

This is only two years old, and I've looked after this.

And the memory's fried, everything's just, it ain't it.
