Life is hard. I don’t look away.
I write about forging meaning, agency, and resilience despite the hammers.

In nature, stagnation occurs when life ceases to flow resulting in atrophy & decay. In human life, stagnation happens when the hammers fall and we stop growing altogether. We lose curiosity. We lose the will to exert effort. www.despitethehammers.com/connection-i...

I wonder how many of us are really immune to the knocks of life. I was knocked off my path by burnout and closed down my blog. But then, the irony wasn't lost on me: a blog about weathering life's blows nearly got taken out by my own.

I decided I will not fall, so the blog is functioning again😅

Who said that mules are dumb? I don't think so, do you?

I’m starting to think courage is less about boldness and more about not stepping away when things get uncomfortable.

Where have you noticed quiet courage in your own life?

If only we knew the problem isn't the struggle itself. It's how we frame it.
