It's a beautiful Sunday morning, and the ground is covered from snow that has fallen the past few days. It's a beautiful sight!
Speaking of beauty, today has been surprisingly wonderful, despite the fact that I hadn't felt good the couple of times I had to get up to help with family needs. It's also despite of all of the things that have been clouding my mind for some time. You remember how I've complained about all the things I've been encountering on social media for a while and how it's been weighing me down? For some reason, I had a Zen moment this morning that made me realize really how petty those things were and that I need not worry about them so much. As soon as that came to me, I felt released. My mind felt clear again, and the quiet of the morning was a beautiful time that I didn't want to end. That sense of peace is something I wish more people could experience.
To feel released, it's a wonderful feeling. I feel like my perspective has been readjusted to a more appropriate perspective on life. How many times do we consume ourselves with petty situations and problems? I don't know about anyone else, but I'm terribly good at it. Things that seem so important in the big picture are minute in size. There are so many better things out there to see, and it all depends on what you choose to focus on.
With this new year beginning with such a powerful start, I hope that I keep getting reminded of the important things of life and not get so consumed with the petty. Sitting down and reflecting on what are the true important things in life's reality will change the perspective and understanding. If the focus was truly on what was important, these little things that we tend to blow up in proportion will keep their size of insignificance, and the outlook of life would look a little bit brighter.
Here's to having a good year in the making. Every year has a potential good future, but again, it depends on what we choose to do with it (and see it) that turns it into a good or bad one. May you make your year as beautiful as it can possibly be.
Have a wonderful day.
