Living gracefully

Life is hard.

Many a times you will get punched in the face when you are least expecting it.

But what matters is how you are able to dust off the sand and get back up again. Get back to what you were doing. With better understanding perhaps, but you persist.

Much is spoken about grit, in this post I want to talk about grace.

One of the definitions of Grace is
“elegance or beauty of form, manner, motion, or action”

I refer to grace here in a much wider sense. Its your ability to put a persistent and smiling face after a setback. (Or maybe you really want to sob loudly, which is okay too!)

You fully understand that you have failed at something, maybe even miserably. But you allow yourself enough grace and self compassion to continue with renewed energy and strength.

At some point or other, everyone messes up. Or things might be totally out of our control and maybe luck didn’t favor us well. However that doesn’t mean we need to wallow in self loathe and beat ourselves up.

You acknowledge the reality, get back to business, one step at a time, gracefully. 🙂
