From Survive To Thrive And Everywhere In Between

Hey, folks, Nick, the poet here, how you doing, wherever you are, whatever's happening. I hope you're having a good day. If you're not having a good day, I hope you're getting through whether you're from thrive to survive or anywhere in between, we can do this together. Between expansiveness and despair, there is a middle road that I try to trudge. Yoda says there is no try, only do. And all said, pressure makes diamonds, and another, fortune bavers the bold. While walking the middle road, I looked up at the mid-morning sun through the branches of a snow blanketed pine tree, and a tiny bird was hopping from branch to branch, causing flecks of snow to gently fall.

I looked down at my boots, and then up at the sky, a bold, beautiful, blissful blue that contrasted so perfectly with the green and brown of the trees and the white of the snow. When I'm feeling a certain way, if I go for a walk and I look at nature, everything shifts, right? And in some ways, we're all caught between expansiveness and despair, you know, between the highs and lows of life, and we're all walking this journey together. And so if someone is up, you can support them when they're up, and if they're down, you can lift them up.

And goodness, we all fail in this so much, it's hard to help, right? We have our own fears, you know, we have our own insecurities, we have our own anxieties. And you know what? If you fail to help somebody, that's okay. That's okay, because there's always going to be another chance that new chance is going to come, right? And we can expand and contract to our circumstances and to our ability to be there for others. I just know if I get too focused on my own worries, my own concerns, my own anx ieties, my own fears, then that's not good.

But if I can focus on others, even just for a moment, it helps so, so much. Don't view it from your mind with its buckets of lost time. Do it from your heart, which always looks at things like a fresh start, right? All is well, the neighborhood of your heart from the start. Have an amazing day. If you could write in the comments how this video made you feel, or if there was something in it that you're going to be able to put into action, let me know. Okay. Bye-bye. I'm Nick de Poet.
