Some of us feel that there are ordinary and extraordinary moments in our life. It’s just that we forget that all moments matters so we can treasure them too.
Why?
Why? Because these ordinary moments are like seeds that the extraordinary moments grow from. I can use the analogy of the right soil, feeding, nurturing, and watering then the beauty of a plant will grow (and our children, our dreams, our ideas, and our motivation too).
If you allow yourself the patience to wait for it (whatever) to be born with wisdom, understanding and love then it will grow into an extraordinary beautiful moment. It is not always so easy, I can assure you though.
I know for me there are times when my daily life can be overwhelming with the housework, social media, my diary, phone calls, my exercise classes, meetings and anything else. Unless I allow myself the quiet time to go inside, step back from the hurly burly, I don’t see the ordinariness as the rich soil for growth. I am too busy feeling sorry for myself and can become resentful!! I then miss out on so much.
I am saying to myself and to you, ‘Why throw away more than half your life as if it were just meaningless drudgery?’
This gives me the time to pause, become aware of my breathing, smile inside and outside and to be re-connected to the fact that I have a choice in my reactions, my thinking and my behaviour.
I can ask myself, ‘What do I want to BE today?” I can be happy, relaxed, strong, quiet, courageous, hardworking, sad, angry … I have that choice.
So how would it be for you to care for your ordinary moments by being the person you truly wish to be – no matter what you’re doing, no matter who you are – and watch as miracles take root, blossom and become extraordinary moments?
Don’t take yourself for granted. Tell yourself that you are an ordinary woman dealing with all of life’s ups and downs, and yet you are also extraordinary. Why? Because you are unique – there is only one of you!!!
