Dear human being,
Here’s a profound nugget of wisdom I came across today.
“Life is amazing. And then it’s awful. And then it’s amazing again. And in between the amazing and the awful, it’s ordinary and mundane and routine. Breathe in the amazing, hold on through the awful, and relax and exhale during the ordinary. That’s just living heartbreaking, soul-healing, amazing, awful ordinary life. And it’s breathtakingly beautiful.” ~ LR Knost
My thoughts on this:
The amazing is easy
but the problem with it is we want more, more, more… we want it all the time, right? The awful is… well… awful. But the real problem with it is we dread it and avoid it when it’s just a fact of life and we gain so much from most of the awful. Less resistance to it and the help of a good friend or two make it a little easier, I’ve found.
The mundane often seems boring compared to the awful and amazing, doesn’t it? So we wish for more drama, which usually causes problems or disappointment. And the ordinary and routine is hard to notice at all, when in fact it’s the blessed zone in which our joy finds us with the greatest ease.
I always benefit from a little reality check about the above, thought you might enjoy one too.
Bags full of love,
Mayet
