Sandcastles
Life has a lot of sandcastles in it.
Projects, jobs, relationships, fitness pursuits… Things that you must put work into that may fall over at any moment.
Have you spent all week (all month... all year) building a 'sandcastle' only to have it crumble right before it was finished?
The beauty of a real sandcastle is that it is temporary and that the finished product isn't as important as the process of building it.
Are you spending all your time fixing a failing sandcastle?
Are you learning/enjoying the process or is it sucking the life out of you?
If you aren't learning and growing, it is time to say “fuck it” and open up yourself up to new opportunities.
Jump on that old castle and start a new one!
And don't stress so much when the castle you have been working on crumbles.
You are a different, more experienced, more wise, human than when you started.
The next castle will be better.
Thrive on.
