Highly Contagious

Why are people so prone to get caught up in Life's traps?
I hate that we are so easily satisfied sometimes. We fall into a meaningless routine and then believe that that is all there is. A routine that we feel we can't break.

We don't see that there's a way out. But worse than that, we don't view every moment as sacred. And they are. While you're sitting at the bus stop that moment is sacred, while you're eating supper that moment is scared, while you're on a mountain top gazing at creation that moment, too, is sacred. But we don't see it that way.

Every moment is sacred. And when I say "sacred" you're instantly going to think this has religious connotations. Which is true to an extent. But it also implies value. Each moment is equally as valuable as the last and if we would start seeing life in this way maybe the quality of our life would improve. Maybe we would treat others better or we would make more use of our time. Maybe we would make more of a difference.

Every moment in life is important. There is no "everyday."

Search for Something More


To me, it's crazy how everyone seems to be in this big search for comfort all the time. It's always some room temperature, medication for everything, or some future career. Too many people are always on this endless search for comfort. Too many people want to feel good all the time and be completely free of any adversity in their lives.

Somehow, I don't think it's about that. Yes, I have all these goals and dreams too but I think a lot of it is about the search more than anything. If you spend you're entire life simply pursuing things then before you know it you've gotten everything you want but in the end you have nothing because you took no time to enjoy the search. You took no time to enjoy life.

It's the process that mystifies me.
