What insights does Eddie share about life's difficult seasons?
Some seasons are what we needed, but not necessarily what we wanted. Of course, this only becomes obvious after the fact. It's like, oh, you're fired from that job you hate. Still gonna hurt. You're still gonna feel the sting of rejection. You're still gonna react as though something belonging to you was snatched away by fate. At the end of the day, is it an objectively good thing? Yeah, it is. But this is too much for our brains to comprehend while the band-aid is being ripped off. We'll piece that puzzle together in five months when we realize we no longer wake up with dread. There are seasons to put your head down and live asymmetrically. Meaning that whole notion of all your cups being filled no longer applies.
for another time. This particular season is about going all in on one or two things at the expense of the others. But life is short, the chorus sings. Sure. And that's why we have to be selective about the seeds we water. In my opinion, no one reaches heights like those who commit to greatness in one particular endeavor. It's only then, once you've conquered the kingdom before you, that you're afforded the luxury of reeling all that matters back in. Or said a different way, you can have it all, just not all at once. And just being honest, being real with you, I don't even like the way that sounds coming out of my mouth. But that doesn't make it less true. Reality isn't always cute. A jack of all trades.
Well, he realizes quickly there are too many trades to do anything substantial without prioritizing one or two of them. There are a lot of examples of this, but I think Kanye and his shoes are a great one. It's just simple. He became so good at music production, focusing on that one thing for so long that when it bore fruit, He was then afforded the luxury of pulling anything and everything into his orbit. Extreme example, but also applies in the micro. He doesn't get that world without the head down, produce your heart out season. Then there are seasons of exploration, of growth, of trying things. These seasons tend to be held closest to our hearts because when we're in them, we give ourselves permission for extreme transformation.
We pull out the child from within us we've been carrying around and set him free. Somehow shocked to learn he still knows what's best. We shout ideas into the airwaves and see how they dance with reality. We observe how our hypotheses hold up against X's and O's. How our narratives fit into this great play of life. We learn that perhaps there's a reason in each particular season that some things become things we learn to believe in. Although it's eventually understood that just because we can doesn't mean we should. Yikes. Trial and error. See, my friends, there's no such thing as bad experimentation. More is not the enemy. Immobility in the name of fear is the enemy. Because even the things that send us down rabbit holes equip us to evolve.
Everything becomes data. And those little data points chart your course. In fact, a wiser man than me once said, they are the very dots that connect looking backwards. This necessarily requires a season of falling forward. Then there are the seasons of loss. The ones where the foundations we once stood on crack beneath our feet. We're reminded of the temporary nature of this floating rock we are on, that all things end, all things go. And it forces us to see the beauty previously hidden in plain sight. Wow, I didn't see this coming. How could I be so naive? The eyes ask the brain. Well, because if you went through life constantly worried about what will stay and what will go, the transience of life would still exist and you'd be miserable.
Some people suck, brother. My brain calls me brother.
How can we find meaning in our struggles and challenges?
So smile and find the ones who don't suck. Some walls collapse, brother. Some people never find the strength to face that truth and forever weep amongst the ruins. You, you must learn to shake it off and become someone who merely learns to build again. You must learn that the turbulence is not a referendum on you.
