The moments of joy in our life are the ones that make it easy to fully live in our day. However, when we hit those low points and we struggle, that is when it gets difficult to remember the moments of joy. Of course, we can't have joy without struggle and we can't have comfort without pain. Both of these things are equally important to our daily life of growth, awareness and consciousness.
All too often, we either numb ourselves to the pain we face in our life and body, or we only embrace happy thoughts and feel good mantras. Neither is healthy for the mind and body if we are oblivious to the opposite that exists within us. It is not wrong to have mantras or happy thoughts, but if we have numbed our mind body interface so that we do not fully experience life, then we are trying to exist on a diet of water only in our life.
Balance between joy and struggle, comfort and pain, stress and rest is essential for us to evolve. It is in the balance that we allow both sides of our present moment to show up, unattached to the outcome in possibility. You may try all you want to have one side without the other, but in many ways you are only attempting to fool your mind and body. In all reality, your mind knows, but as we cut ourselves off from the mind body connection, we are disconnected from our mind and our body.
