Motivational Monday ~ "Embracing the Beautiful Chaos of Life"

By
Real Estate Agent with Coldwell Banker Realty ~ 512.750.6899

I read this quote a couple of days ago and loved how it captures the cyclical nature of life, highlighting how it fluctuates between incredible highs and devastating lows, with much of it consisting of everyday, routine moments. It speaks to embracing the wonderful times, enduring the difficult ones, and finding peace in the mundane.

To me this quote portrays what I have come to believe is true about life. It's a blend of experiences that, with all their highs and lows, come together to create a stunning and awe-inspiring journey, leaving me feeling so blessed to be a part of this wonderful miracle.

 

Life is Amazing

And then it’s awful.

And then it’s amazing again.

And in between the amazing and awful.

It’s ordinary and mundane and routine.

Breathe in the amazing,

Hold on through the awful,

And relax and exhale during the ordinary,

That’s just living, heartbreaking,

Soul-healing, amazing, awful, ordinary life.

And it’s breathtakingly beautiful!

I read this and think about the events of Saturday. How different would our world/country be right now if the gunman was successful? Would it be civil war? Life can be beautiful, life can be awful...yikes.

Hello Dorie - it seems to me that life has always been a combination of events.  Putting things into perspective does have a place.

Dorie, Life is indeed a series of events, each bringing its own set of challenges and opportunities. It's a reminder that the ups and downs are natural, and change is a constant part of life.

I love this, Dorie. It reminds me of what the grandmother said in the Steve Martin movie, Parenthood in which she said life was like a roller coaster. It can't always keep climbing up or zooming down, can it?

Dorie life can be a bit of a roller coaster ride.  It would be pretty boring if it wasn't.  Color me boring ...... LOL

As the quote from Knost advises, life is a cyclical experience. . .And, then, you die!
