Resilient Spirit

I hate scraping kiln shelves.

But even the things we love to do can come with things we dislike. But if you keep doing a

process you hate, then it just becomes something you do, and eventually you don't think about it anymore.

This resiliency of the human spirit is something I've been highly aware of since my early twenties. All too often we become accustomed to living with difficult circumstances for no reason except that our spirit has accepted the circumstances.   But if we keep in mind the resilient nature of the spirit and examine our habits and circumstances, remembering that the only long term experiences we should endure are the positive ones, then our lives become more fulfilled.

It's something  we must remember whenever we enter into a new relationship, a new job, or a new habit, or else hurtful experiences can become part of our day to day lives.
