Cookie cutter.

Flawless.

Made to specifications.

Mass-produced.

Life is none of the above.

It’s different.

It can be messy.

There are no instructions that work all the time.

There are no guarantees.

Nothing is promised.

Not for you or anyone else.

And that’s the beauty of it.

That’s what provides you with the variety of emotions you experience.

Without sadness, you wouldn’t know what happiness feels like.

If you don’t experience anger, then you wouldn’t know the beauty that is calmness.

If you don’t know hate, you won’t recognize love.

Because of all your different experiences, you can really learn to appreciate the full range of emotions you have.

So don’t shy away from your emotions.

They’re not wrong; they are giving you a perspective. They add color to your life.

And remember, whatever emotion it is that you’re feeling, there’s always another one waiting for you at the other end of your experience.
