Embracing the Present: Finding Peace and Purpose by Choosing Your Circumstances

I really have a habit of living in regret or living in the future,
trying to figure out what’s next.
And the pandemic taught me,
what if there’s actually glory of god right in front of your nose
every moment? And so I just feel like,
in a radical way, I’m actually living now.
And I say it this way.
The secret to peace is to embrace your current circumstance
as if you had chosen it.
Because if you’re in a circumstance and you don’t choose it,
you’re a victim to it. You’re resisting it.
But the second you go, not I choose this circumstance,
you say, I choose to show up to the circumstance,
suddenly it’s like, okay, god, what are we gonna do?
