“Life is not a struggle. It’s a wiggle.”

ImageIt’s a pretty bad day when a slip of paper that comes out of a delectably crunchy treat triggers my argumentative side before I even finish the cookie, but here’s one that sparked a heated debate at my dinner table, which means there’s no right or wrong way to read this.  After years of research into the various types of “hustle,” it seems like the universal truth is that life is and forever will be a struggle.  Granted, if you took an idealistic approach, thinking of your “struggles” as less-extreme “wiggles,” then the upcoming conclusions that I draw will have very little relevance to you.  However, if you are a realist and like to “kick the tires” on life (so to speak),  then you’ll appreciate what this fortune means to me.

Life has a tendency to place you in situational grey areas.  There’s no clear solution that is blatantly hitting you over the head, like “I’m the right one, idiot.”  Of course, there are the clear cut boundaries of right and wrong, but for a world full of color, reality seems to generally operate in shades of grey.  The challenges you face on a daily basis can be daunting, but when you hear the word “struggle,” the inherent level of difficulty seems to be all the more impossible.  It’s over before it even begins, but when you change your attitude, even the most impossible task seems manageable.  I don’t think it’s fair to say that life as a whole is as lackadaisical as “wiggle” implies, but when there’s things that need to be done and achievements that need to be completed, remember these random, yet applicable, facts.  Rome wasn’t built in a day.  Everything is in some way possible, and the best way to go through life is by dancing through it.  That’s right, ladies.  Wiggling is absolutely recommended.  But again, life is anything but a “wiggle.”
