All too many people go through their lives the same way every day, going through the same routines, thinking the same thoughts, feeling the
same feelings. Sometimes I feel like (okay, I AM) one of those people. There are
times when I get so set in my routines that it's like I don't even have
to think to get through my day. Which is fine on occasion, but isn't life
supposed to be exciting and different and adventurous and daring?
Maybe it's a
matter of allowing spontaneity to creep into your regimen. And I guess
that spontaneity is something I'm not super comfortable with. I mean, it's a bit
scary, don't you think? Not knowing exactly what's coming. Unsure
of whether or not you will be able to follow through on your previous
plans. No clue what you are going to have to do next. Yeah! It's uncomfortable.
But... what would life be
without a little discomfort? We would have nothing to compare luxury
to. We would have no motivation to search for happiness. It
would defeat the will to move past discomfort, and that, to me, is a defeat of
the human spirit.
I realize that I have to allow myself a little wiggle room. I
need to make space for spontaneity in my life, and I have to be willing
to let the rigid structure of my daily life become more liquid, more
free. I have to be able to release my inhibitions and just roll with the punches.
If I move past my fear of discomfort, I will be able to experience
so many more wonderful, exciting things and hopefully I will come to see the
world just a little bit more clearly because of it.
