What to do when you run out of gas?

Well my upside down stretch of life continues. It is on spin cycle now. Through chaos I have found clarity. At my ends of despair I find wisdom. It must be part of the suffering process to let go of what is not necessary and hold on to what is. I am letting go of arrogance and pettiness. I am holding on to love for my wife and my friends. Being humbled is humbling. Loosing sometimes shows you what you have. People are loosing everything even when they seemingly have it all. Keeping focus on what is important is easier when the fire burns hottest. Being honest and pure in spirit is the key to survival, if at least emotionally. I have found that I do not any longer have the strength nor desire to fight. Being kind is what I am good at so I might as well start and end there. Life has lessons and we should be growing through them. Becoming better people should be a constant occurrence for all of us. Betterness is not something you drive or wear on your wrist. It is a peace and knowledge of who you are and whom you align yourself with. I hope that this peacefulness can continue and not let it be corrupted by trivial arguments. I do not think that I am a spiritual person but maybe this is that kind of feeling. A faith if you may. We shall see what more harm this life has for us and endure it with grace and dignity.
