This Too Shall Pass

Life is so limited.
Our lives wrapped in the approval of others. Our perception of ourselves over the reality is always clouded by doubt. But the universe has a way of righting itself.
A handsome man who beds beautiful women suffers financial hardship. An ugly man who gets no women has wealth beyond anyone's dreams. Both have their own miseries with the only link...validity. The handsome man would like to be known for more than looks. The ugly one surrounds himself with models..the best he can afford. In the end both are the same. Yet one envies the other.
It goes without saying, self doubt is evil. It plagues the mind of an awful narrative that we aren't good enough. Or that the other side always lives a more blessed life. While true, the handsome man gets female companionship, it's oftentimes superficial. Yet the wealthy man can buy beautiful cars yet is painfully lonely.

We all turn the grist mill equally with our own personal pain.

The man at peace doesn't allow rejection to derail his peace. No one validates him but him. The anxiety ridden society forces one to re-direct emotion. We build narratives that hurt. Bad. Suffering and blame our existence. The wise man tells himself "this too shall pass" Despite it all...this too shall pass. So for my friends out there that suffer in self doubt know you are never alone. And this too will pass.
Chin up my friends.
