Good things come and go, correct? Such is life.….

Do we accept that this is how it goes, or do we actively work to tap into our inner knowing so we don’t let those good things go?

Becoming more in tune with what a good thing looks and feels like can help us ditch what’s not so great in our life, while holding onto what is.

Life will offer us a bit of everything, so how do we know when a good thing is right in front of us?

In the land of plenty, how do we know what’s the right thing, person or situation for us?

How do we know when to hold on and how do we know when to let go?

At one point or another, we all have to come up with our own answers to these questions. Life will present us with a varietal of opportunities. Our decisions to go toward or away from these people and situations will pave the path of our life.

No pressure, right?

I remember a time in my life when I spent years in an indecisive place about love.

Is THIS it? Is HE it? Is SHE it? Are THEY it? Are WE it?

I mean, how are you supposed to know what’s up from down in certain situations?

Will we ever? Can we ever?

Here’s what I know.

Going toward what makes you feel good consistently is always a good choice. Move toward what feels good consistently, not sporadically. Sporadic energy tends to feel chaotic. Consistency breeds trust.

Lots of not so great things and people can make us feel good temporarily. A temporary fix tends to be more surface and short lived. Some of us rather take something rather than nothing, yet that’s where many of us get stuck. When the foundation of anything is unstable and ingenuine, it will eventually show its cracks. This is true both figuratively and literally. Whether we’re talking about relationships or a building.

Side Note: * Nobody is perfect, nor is perfection the aim, although unhealthy and destructive people and circumstances do not need your energy friends *

Here are some descriptions on what a good thing usually entails. Hopefully, this can help you evaluate your current experiences in order for you to find clarity around whether you should hold on or let go.

A good thing has a clean paper trial. “History Repeats Itself” is a cliche for a reason.

A good thing feels good (in a healthy way.) Period the end.

A good thing is stable, trusting and accountable.

A good thing says what they mean and means what they say.

A good thing cares about you and it’s obvious.

A good thing is not confusing.

A good thing is not that hard to spot because the right “good thing” for you will stand out amongst the crowd.

A good thing tends to be A DIAMOND IN THE ROUGH, for if it wasn't, it wouldn’t be special to your experience. Unique things stand out and are valuable for their rarity, which makes them such a gift.

If you’re still looking for your good thing, keep looking. It’s out there. Don’t settle. Don’t think it “should” be here already. Respect IT’S timing. Look at all the contrast that you’re receiving in your life now as part of the adventure, for one day the adventure will be over and you will be consumed with your good thing.

Lots of love. Cheers to Good Things.
