I, in turn, forwarded it to a friend with other stresses (same, same but different). She replied she was not quite figuring it out. But this is the beauty of life. You are either figuring it out (active verb) or have figured it out (completed action). There is no in between. You haven't failed if you are figuring it out. You just haven't found the solution. You haven't figured it out just yet.
It's daunting and at times distressing and feeling insurmountable, but just remember, you're still figuring it out.
And probably doing a beautiful job doing it.
Linking with #ParentPower because children will cause lots of problems or difficulties that you need to figure out. But no matter how large, you will.
Very true for so many of us I think! Thanks for the encouragement and sharing #openslather
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely agree!
ReplyDeleteI totally agree!
ReplyDeleteHappy Sunday, Lydia.

A great sentiment. Because you can guarantee that when you finally think you have figured it all out, along can come a gigantic spanner thrown into the works and you have to start again. #KCACOLS
ReplyDeleteCurse those spanners!! *shakes fist*
DeleteI'm usually figuring it out... but isn't it a beautiful feeling when you finally do figure it out!

What a lovely positive look at life, I think I am perminetly figuring it out but enjoying it along the way. #DreamTeam
ReplyDeleteI'm permanently figuring it out but jeez, I do get some heavy sh*t to deal with and the fact that I'm still here and breathing is enough to show the job is being done. Great sentiment.

It's a journey seems contrite at times, but it is no less accurate for it. #kcacols
ReplyDeleteI'm absolutely in the process of...& just when I think I have I'm back in the process. Short, sharp, simple. #MLSTL
ReplyDeleteI actually needed to read this today Lydia. Life is overwhelming at the moment (my own fault for taking on too much) but I appreciated the quote today and thank you for it. Always a pleasure to have you join us at #MLSTL and enjoy the rest of your week. x
ReplyDeleteSo true - I've been doing a LOT of figuring out over the last few months - part way there and still with a little bit more to go before I can rest on my laurels.
ReplyDeleteThanks for linking up with us at MLSTL and I've shared on my SM :)
Love it. I needed this as I have been going through some stuff. #dreamteam
ReplyDeleteLove this! I don't usually like using any curse words, but this time, I'm there.
ReplyDeleteI do try not to use them in writing but I didn't creat the meme so there was no way round it....
DeleteLife is usually a work in progress and when you think something is complete there is something new to focus on! Thanks for linking up with #stayclassymama
ReplyDeleteSo true and sometimes half the fun is the figuring it out! #KCACOLS
ReplyDeleteDoes one ever figure it out? I figure if you've worked out that something needs figuring out and are doing it, it's better than not. At least you're on the path, and with every step comes some sort of learning and enlightenment. #openslather
ReplyDeleteA great way of thinking! Love this. Things can sometimes take a lot longer to figure out than expected can't they. Thanks for sharing this quote with the #dreamteam
ReplyDeleteThe good thing is we don't always have to know the answers. We always get our answers when we truly need them. #KCACOLS
ReplyDeleteAh Lydia, another post making me think.
ReplyDeleteThank you

There is rarely a simple answer to things so we need to remember to ask for help! Mistakes are how we learn. Thanks for linking up with #parentpower
