When you notice what is happening in your life right now, you might wonder at times “Is this all there is to life? Is this what I was born to do? Where is that great mission that I was supposed to work on in this life? Where is the magic? Why is life so ordinary and why doesn’t much happen?” Are these questions that make you wonder?
Life occurs in ‘ordinary’ days and nights and yet we crave to live the phenomenal destiny each of us dreams of. The eternal dilemma of enjoying what exists in our life versus what our big dreams are.
I remember years ago, in a family gathering, most of us complaining about how boring things were and how nothing was happening. It was then that my grandfather looked at everyone in that wise way that sometimes only the elderly can. He looked at us and said, “you know when there is nothing happening sometimes these are the good times”.
We didn’t think much of it at that moment. But soon enough life unfolded in a totally different way. A little while after we had this conversation, three members of the family passed (including my grandfather) away and we found ourselves craving for what was the so-called boring-ordinary- mundane life. We realized the wisdom behind those words that he had shared with us and how important it is to live every moment fully.
Let’s just explore ordinary life as we know it. After all, we spend most of our lives living it. Click below to listen and stay on till the end for the mini-meditation.
