Embrace the Suck

The trail—like life—may not always be what we want it to be, but it offers us the opportunity to choose how we respond to whatever it doles out.

  • In the hiking world we have a saying, "Embrace the Suck!" 

  • It's a reminder that the trail doesn't care what we want it to be and is not there simply to meet our expectations.

  • But we always have a choice to accept what is and manage it with faith that things will eventually change for the better. 

  • A good mantra that emphasizes our power is, "Embrace the suck or it will embrace you!"

MUSIC: "Poema del Pastor Coya" by Angel Lasala as played by Alison Young, flute and Vicki Seldon, piano.
