Higher Highs and Higher Lows here's the deal. We're never going to be happy all the time. Anyone who tells you they are is lying, either to you or themselves or both. Dan Millman says there are no enlightened beings, only more or less enlightened moments. I love that everything in nature, including our emotions, has its rhythms. Day and night, high tide and low tide. Spring, summer, fall, winter. The good news is that as we choose to step forward into growth and actually live our truths more and more consistently, what we'll find is that our highs get higher and our lows get higher, such that our new off days are often better than our former best days. The key that unlocks all doors. Diligently, patiently, persistently and playfully live our ideals. And in the long run, our highs will be higher and so will our lows. And that rocks.
