I was listening to a podcast where Piers Morgan was a guest (yes, that Piers Morgan). He said something that caught my attention— the idea of celebrating the good and bad in life.
He said, “We treat the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune with equanimity.” He literally goes to a restaurant or pub with his family to even celebrate when they go through hard times.
This reminds me of something Jamie Kern Lima talks about which is being grateful for even rejection. She would say about potential business partners that said “no” that God had, in a sense, shielded her value from that person because their relationship wouldn’t have worked. She was grateful for the “no.”
I want to learn to better treat the slings and arrows of “outrageous fortune” with equanimity. Life should indeed be celebrated.
