Appreciate the madness in real things.
Without a modest amount of uncertainty, it's going to lack depth. Without depth, you're going to skim the border of what's actually possible for you. Without finding your best stuff and what defines your foundation, growth and fulfillment will look like a far away dream. You see, there's an inclination to become romanced with the quick and easy, but that's not where the magic is. The magic lies in the depths. The magic takes some soul searching. The magic is in jumping out of the ship completely and diving deep down into unexplored waters all while having unbreakable faith that you're going to find a pocket of air on the way down.
What if doubt crawls in? Embrace it.
The world we live in is full of chaos. It's a absolute mess at times and it's a miracle that we can even keep ourselves together for most of it. It feels like we are all on the verge of complete breakdown day after day because of the complexity of what we are constantly dealing with. However, when we slow down a bit to appreciate what is going on with our lives and sit in this moment, we deeply connect to what's actually going on. When we can connect with the present moment we can dive into ourselves much more easily.
If we try to live on the surface however, we are essentially trying to build our foundations out of wallpaper.
In order to truly develop, you have to get down to the foundational level and start building from there. If you always stay at the surface level, like I've said before, you continue to play with the wallpaper before the support beams are even built. Priorities matter when you are trying to make serious changes. Keep them straight.
But in real things (thoughts, feelings, experiences) that have some depth to them, they are not wallpaper in any way. They have some madness to them. They are not predictable, certain and they are almost always completely surprising. They rip the rug out from under you and help you pop right back up when you are down. It's a bit chaotic, but that is the point. The chaos is the attractive part. The chaos is the art. When you start to live in that place, your whole life becomes part of that painting. Then, when you begin to accept that you have a role to play in this world, you can begin to develop the faith driven hand of the painter.
But you've got to get dirty first.
So it's time to go to work. It's time to focus more on building the strong foundation and support structure of your life instead of focusing on the outer layers. Sure it's easier to focus on those outer layers because it's cheaper. But if you really want to make some changes, you have to start at your core.
Don't just live a life surviving. Live one where you thrive.
