I think two of the greatest fears people have are to be insignificant or completely average in every way.
Our culture boxes people into categories via personality and professional characterizations.
It may not be the best for interpersonal purposes, but for efficiencies sake, its spot on.
Lately my life shows of distraction, confusion, and an all around lack of motivation.
I can’t figure everything out tomorrow, but what I can do is do better at whatever comes my way next. And try to live my days closer to their potential rather than closer to their minimum.
Perhaps its because I’ve just been surviving the last few months?
Survivial is fine I suppose, but survival is tough enough; no one says “I was like the best survivor of that hurricane.”
No, they look back and say, I’m glad that’s over and more thankful for the life I have.
Its with that mindset and this season that I say: I just want to do better.
Being thankful shouldn’t just be a warm and fuzzy in my opinion, it should also be a call to take stock in those around you and to do better. I know I am.
