This is a very short and quick article and I cannot take credit for it. It was a post that my daughter-in-law shared. I found the message so profound that I felt compelled to share it on my website. So a quick five minute read but a very deep and special message.
There’s a line from the film Inside Out 2 that resonated with me so deeply. You’re likely to miss it if you don’t pay close attention.
It’s the scene where Sadness shyly asks Joy if she can go down into the memory pool with her. In response, Joy takes Sadness hand into hers and says to her friend, “Of course! Remember Sadness, wherever I go, you go too.”
When I heard that, I remembered how some people like to say that they are afraid of being so happy because they know that after the happiness, sadness follows. That’s really no way to live, and neither is it true. One doesn’t follow the other because they always travel together, side by side, hand in hand.
Joy and sadness are like the railroad tracks. Even on the saddest of days, if we look hard enough, and allow ourselves to experience it, there will always be some joy to be found. Likewise, even on the most joyful of days, like the birth of a child, a wedding, a graduation, a championship, or a promotion, when we remember that someone or something is missing, there will always be that tinge of sadness.
So when we say that we are grateful for life, we cannot just be grateful for the joyful moments, we must be grateful even for the sad parts. We must be grateful for all of it. Joy and sadness carry us (or we carry them) as we move forward from one season of life to the next.
