ORDINARY MOMENTS

                                         

“There are no ordinary moments.”

            Dan Millman

The ordinary is the extraordinary. It is in those moments of calm,

peaceful, blissful moments where we just slow down and enjoy the

moment. Routine. Especially when we take things for granted. The 

“regular” days or drudgery should be what we enjoy the most. We

tend to trip up when we look at something and say this is easy. I have

done this before so I will not put forth my usual effort or prepare like

we know we should. It is in these “ordinary” moments where we let our

guard down, where we get off track or disaster strikes. You think the

hard part is over or yet to come. Think again. It is all important. It all

counts. You may feel “ordinary” and that may be good because we are

calm, cool and collected. But that is not an excuse to be unprepared

or take things for granted. Everything is wondrous. We should marvel

at it and above all, always do our best.

NOW

                                         

“Change your life today. Don’t gamble on

the future, act now, without delay.”

                        Simone de Beauvoir

Love the now. Be present. Love the process, embrace the work. It is

not the result it is the effort you put in to get the result. Do your best

and do it again, but love the process, it’s like working out, enjoy doing

it, and remember that feeling in all our endeavors. Love what it is.

Want nothing to be different. Accept what has happened and what will

happen. There is a name for this, its “amor fati” – “love of one’s fate.”

We accept life and all our experiences. The highs and the lows, what

is and what will be. The ordinary and the seemingly extraordinary,

it’s all awesome. Limit our desires, accept what we have. If we want

more, we will never have enough. If we love what we have, we will

always have enough. Take the good, the bad and the ugly, or painful,

embrace it and be the better person for the struggle and always do

your best no matter what happens. Anything worthwhile always takes

effort and love the effort.
