Yesterday, after seeing a wildly sexy man embracing pull ups at the street workout park the way I embrace a bar of dark chocolate, I knew I had to publish this. It wasn't so much him as the shirt he was wearing. It said: the balance of opposites. Which is the epitome of rising.
When we rise from the ashes (after an all-consuming burnout, a heartbreak, a total loss of identity and vision), it is not a linear process.
It can be grueling. There are endless false peaks. And we find ourselves sounding like the kid in the back seat: \"Are we there yet?\"
This episode is the beginning of an answer to that. The balance of your opposites (between old you and the new you that's tip-toeing its way forward) might be the most important thing to know about what it actually means to rise.
