#4 The Path with Michael Padurano

𝗠𝗶𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗲𝗹 𝗣𝗮𝗱𝘂𝗿𝗮𝗻𝗼: “When I visualize the path of one's journey, I visualize a zigzaggy road that goes up hills, down hills, around mountains, and through 7000 foot tall ant hills. There is no linear path, there is no easy way, there are no shortcuts. It's a one day at a time journey, one step at a time some days for sure. Just crawl or roll forward.

Pain and joy are part of the journey. We don't even realize how directly connected they are.

When my father recently died, I was really worried that I was going to go into a stagnant state. I was actually extremely self-aware of where I was emotionally everyday. I stuck to my journaling and meditation, even though it wasn't exactly what I normally did. I had self-compassion. I understood where I was at and I allowed it to be whatever it was, but I didn't give up the routine. I gave myself space to process. Are we ever over grief? I don't think so, I am through the initial wave. There’s always more.”
