Imagine Two Turtles….
One turtle is on it’s back, legs and arms extended,
rocking back and forth on its shell.
The upside down turtle says to the other turtle
something like “My goals have become very simple, recently….”
We all have ambitions and ideas of what we want our lives to look like. How we move through the world.
But sometimes “Life” knocks us upside down. We or our loved ones suffer illness, loss or tragedy. Things we never expected. Things we never saw coming. And our instinct is to pull our head back into our shell.
And that’s OK. It’s OK to pause. It’s OK to take a moment and re-evaluate your goals. It is OK to have a reset. Once you’re back on your feet, then you can move forward. One step at a time. But for now, take a moment and focus on the simple things.
And…. breathe ……
