Really?

What does “having it all” mean to you? Is it attainable?

In my personal opinion no one has it all. Yes, many live lives filled with love, purpose and comfort, yet these values or markers are highly subjective, or relative. Likewise, we may look at others and think “wow, they really must have it all!”. However, we’re not in their minds , we don’t know their thoughts, or see hidden traumas or possible angst, pain or internal struggle. I think the closest one can get to having it all, is to learn to live in the present moment. Learn to understand the inherent beauty and power of each breath, regardless of the challenges they face. I am grateful, I am humble, I am privileged in some ways, but I most definitely do not have it all, nor would I want to, either. Period.
