The sun sets on another day…
It’s another dark sunset, not to say that it’s dismal, nor to say that it’s evil in any way, just that the sky was covered in clouds and darkness fell upon us all. Somewhere high above the skies were bright and filled with color and my imagination went wild considering all of the beauty.
How do you measure your life?
It’s pretty funny how my brain works, probably similar to a lot of people. As I started writing this the immediate thing that came to my mind was from a movie called romancing the Stone. In that, the main character was threatened and asked a question that was pretty ridiculous, how will you die?
Then my brain went sideways to a question that joker asked, focusing on will you live for me. All in all I went through dozens of situations, movies, and books only to come back to the idea of a stumble and what it means. This of course led me to a song, and this lady may have stumbled but she ain’t never fell. I am sure many people have no idea what I’m talking about.
I’ll make it easy after all of that ridiculousness, a stumble is a step towards growth. Without a stumble, no one would ever walk. I know that’s a broad stroke of the brush but it’s very rare that a child starts their first day of walking and runs a marathon the day after. Instead they stumble and fall and giggle and laugh and in the middle of it all they find a way. The stumbling help them get there.
Here we are now, stumbling along. Somewhere in the middle we need to realize that in our stumbles we have the opportunity for growth. It can be difficult but we should see it nonetheless.
Growth is built by stumbles, growth is built by falls. It is a strange world where we avoid everything that we know and don’t see that we should be stumbling along each and every day.
So as the sun sets on another day, let’s stumble out of here and make the world a better place by making the mistakes that others try to avoid and in doing so, building a better world. You have the power to learn and grow and make this life the best it can be, no matter what.
Sleep sweet, love life, and keep on growing…
