Yesterday, I talked about being
genuine and not worrying about what others think. Today is a new day.
“Many eyes go through the meadow, but few see the flowers in it.” - Ralph Waldo Emerson
The modern world for most people
is a busy place. People typically wake up, have breakfast (or not),
get ready for school/work, come home, eat dinner (or not), and if
they’re not busy doing other things, have a little time to relax
(or not) before doing it all over again the next day.
Some of us get so stuck in this
loop that we forget to take time to just smell the roses. There’s a
whole world of beauty out there yet so many get caught doing the same
routines over and over that the world loses color and it all just
blurs together.
When I catch myself guilty of
repeating the same things over and over I find that I’ve also lost
my focus. That’s not to say that all routines are bad though. For
example, going to the gym consistently also helps me in other areas
of my life, including my desire to get out there and get things done.
It drives me to dedicate myself to other things, too. But it’s also
just as important to mix things up a bit every once in a while.
When lost in a forest of shadows
you need to shine light to see the signs pointing to where the meadow
lies. But once you find it, you still need to stop and stare to
really appreciate its beauty. In life, sometimes not doing anything
can be the most productive thing.
Peace
