AMOR FATI
This week, I heard someone say the phrase: Amor fati.
It means love of fate or love of one’s fate.
After reading more about what this phrase means and how it originated, I found that it isn’t about simply accepting whatever life throws your way, rather it means choosing to actively appreciate everything, especially the challenges, and seeing them as a necessity.
The wins and breakthroughs are easy to accept, but this phrase is a reminder that in the disappointments, challenges, and delays that we don’t yet understand, everything is working for our good.
Every season you walk through will not only refine you, it will be used to help someone else, likely someone you haven’t even met yet. And that is the real gift.
We are the diamond in the rough. Our experiences are what shape us and sharpen us. And amor fati is the reminder in the shaping and sharpening seasons, this too will become something beautiful and meaningful.
Nothing is ever wasted - it’s all shaping you.
