Well, I’m here to tell you that it’s never always good.

Our days are filled with moments that bring us smiles and moments that make us want to cry and throw our hands up.

In those moments of surrender, you really do want to give up and say, “But wait, if I were to stop, what would happen?”

The important thing to ask ourselves is: what if I were to keep going? What could happen?

Good comes with hard conversations. Good comes with stubbing your toe. Good comes with a flat tire.

There is always good and bad at the same time.

Bad comes with a beautiful sunrise in the morning, a fresh cup of coffee on your way to work, connections with someone you haven’t seen in a long time, and watching your kid hit their very first home run.

Good still happens, even amidst a lot of hard days.

The point is, it’s never always good. If we live our lives waiting for the good just because we are dealing with something bad in the moment, we are likely to miss all that is in front of us.

As a mom and business owner, it is so incredibly easy to get in my head and stress about everything going wrong, the bad, the mess. But what keeps me going is redirecting my focus to all the good that I have in my life and embracing every moment. Life will never be always good.

But to me, the good, the small moments, will always make it worth going through the bad.
