I don’t feel well today, and I’m grateful for that

I don’t feel well today. I am not ‘sick sick’ but my body doesn’t just feel right. But the beautiful part? It sharply reminds me what feeling well—full energy—feels like.

And I’m grateful for that.

It reminds me of something my mentor Chude Jideonwo said the last time I was down—psychologically in that case:

“Sadness accentuates joy. Sadness is a good part of life, because it helps us recognize and appreciate joy.”

And like Michael Rosenberg (Passenger) sang:

🎵 “You only miss the sun when it starts to snow.”

China, Chanel and the inevitability of branding

We are all going to die soon. And that’s great.
