Now that the month is almost over, let’s take a look back on the famous “8/8” day.

Who said 8/8 was lucky? People were extremely short-tempered and just plain mean today. It started well, was terrible in the middle, and ended on a high note. I do feel stronger after ending the day.

After taking the weekend to integrate my experience, I feel an extreme dissatisfaction with every facet of my life. These feelings are not unfamiliar to me. I feel them at least a few times a year, and I try to make changes, but it still feels the same. Lately, I’ve tried to fight the feeling with changes and even gratefulness, and nothing seems to work. Religion has also played a less-than-satisfactory role, and yet I am still discontent.

I have a checklist, and I have checked none of the boxes, no matter how hard I try to change. Where do I go from here? How do I find joy?

Taking things moment by moment, my moments are joy-filled, but they aren’t leading to a fulfilling life. What is next?

And look at that. I found the portal. This was not for manifestation, it was for stepping away from what does not serve you. That is the lesson.

Looking back, what were your 8/8 lessons?
