Navigating Life's Peaks and Valleys {Reflections}
Manage episode 443289805 series 3482887
How do we gracefully ride the waves of life's highs and lows?" Join me, Ryan, on the Reflections podcast, as I unpack a heartfelt narrative centered around my son Gavin’s flourishing freshman year at North Central College. His journey isn't just a personal milestone; it's a springboard into a discussion on navigating life's rollercoaster moments. Fueled by the wisdom of St. Ignatius of Loyola, I draw parallels between his teachings and the modern dilemmas of success and struggle. Whether Gavin is smashing goals on the lacrosse field or excelling in his engineering courses, there's a balance to be struck in both triumph and tribulation.
This episode is a tapestry of personal anecdotes, age-old theology, and practical advice on maintaining equanimity through life's peaks and valleys. With St. Ignatius's concepts of desolation and consolation as our compass, we explore how gratitude and faith can be our guiding lights. Listen in for insights not just for Gavin, but for anyone seeking to uphold perspective and grace through all seasons of life. Tune in to find out how to navigate when the path is smooth and when it's strewn with obstacles, ensuring you're prepared for whatever comes next.
