What stuff do you want to deal with

So I just finished watching the last season of the TV show Ted Lasso. The show as a hit and I will not insult you with a recap of the shows plot or episodes. There is one scene in the the last season that really resonated with me and even inspired me. Ted the soccer coach asks his team if they want to deal with what he calls junk in their lives and if they don’t what do they want to deal with?

I love this idea because life can be this amazing wonderful ride. A ride that is truly fun or it can be a never ending Sisyphean endeavor we are praying will end mercifully or it can be a broiler room or vice cooking us and pressuring us till we have a nervous break down and sometimes we can feel like life is all of this at the same time. How do we deal with this? We have to understand the issues and problems and junk. Because at its core life is awesome! It really is. Spend one day out doors in the sunshine and you will understand how amazing life is.

I hope you can get past all the junk in your life and sometimes you may need help to do this and that is fine and normal and you should get that help. The help of a friend or family member is great but when life is especially hard there is nothing wrong with the help of a professional. Find a good therapist and use them.
