Hi Rach! You're getting a dog???? That's so exciting :) I can't wait to meet them. I have 2 dogs and they are a HUGE part of my life.
I wanted to share two things because I love recognizing when the universe is sending you a message - I often see it as loose threads from all these different pockets (whether it's a friend saying something to you, and then you see it on a billboard, and then you hear that SAME thing in a podcast) that suddenly converge in your experience...if that makes sense?
Anyways, here are the 2 things in response to this newsletter :)
1. I wholeheartedly believe in falling in love with your future (which can be hard at times because if you're anything like me, I get hung up in the past often...past mistakes, past hurts, etc.). I am currently reading Man's Search for Meaning by Victor Frankl, who is a Holocaust survivor. He spends half the book talking about his Auschwitz experience because as a prisoner, all he had to give hope and meaning to his life was having a future to believe in. He literally writes that he believes that making that choice (to believe in a future) was literally choosing life over death. It is that choice, that freedom, that actually makes life meaningful and purposeful.
2. I subscribe to a newsletter from Sahil Bloom and he wrote in today's edition about the surfer mentality, which is to "enjoy THIS wave [the present moment, with the certainty that it will end], with the wisdom and awareness that there are always more waves coming." I love that because it represents rolling with life's punches and being present while still having the hope that there is more out there for you.
I'm laughing a bit that the universe seems to be telling me through Victor Frankl, Sahil Bloom and YOU to be present within my life, but also plan for and hope for a future that is exciting, vibrant and full of possibility.
Hi bb! Yes I’m getting a golden doodle!!! So excited. And oh this comment. I’m a huge Viktor Frankl fan and that book impacted my worldview when I read it in grad school. I come back to existentialism time and time again in times of great uncertainty. Thank you for sharing yourself with us so graciously 🙏🏽
