Today's episode is a conversation surrounding the pressure that comes with our timeline of achievements,  a new month, and the year fast running to an end. It is that time of the year when anxiety sets in about unfulfilled plans even in a year that has shown us how minute of control we have over our lives. Today's conversation is about being patient, giving ourselves grace, and the flexibility of time as we deliberately choose joy even when it seems our plans have fallen apart.Today's poem is called CHOOSE JOYCHOOSE JOYDecide to choose joyWhen your plans fall by the waysideAnd your heart is blinded;Even when your soul is downcast in youDecide to choose joyLike an outburst of water to a dry brookDecide to choose joyDeliberately, intentionally and purposefullyThis story still ends well,Even when you may not understand howAnd even when understandingDoesn’t change your emotionsUntil the waiting endsAnd the work in you is doneDecide to choose joy
