The sun sets on another day…
It was a brutally stunning sunset as the skies lifted in the last minute to paint the horizon with color. Moments before the sky was dismal and dark, but nature had other ideas for it all, and gave the world beauty til darkness fell.
I was thinking about points. No, I was not thinking about the points on a star or any of the points on a knife, sword, or other sharp instrument. I may have been thinking about the points on a pencil, but not really. I was thinking about the points in our life that we come across certain realizations about ourselves.
Whether we like to admit it or not we are in a consistent state of flux in the world. As each day moves forward, we are undergoing change, or at least usually we are. We are seeing the world in different ways finding common ground with others, finding uncommon ground with others, finding things that we like in the world, finding things we dislike in the world, and a host of other points that seemed to make up an endless series of stars. It would drive you crazy if you thought about it too much simply because each day, we go through the opportunity to go through modification a significant number of times. Normally I would say around 60,000 different potential modifications, depending on how much you sleep. Seems like a lot.
We are worth it though. The human machine or the human condition or whatever you want to call it has the ability to improvise and adapt and become seriously streamlined and significantly evolved. We are constantly evolving and absorbing more and more points so that we can better adapt to a world that is constantly evolving in one way or another.
This might be good, this might not be good, but it is real and as we walk through life we have no choice but to grow a little, or at least a little.
How do you see the world? Do you see it as a static number of events flowing past you? Do you see it as a series of infinite possibilities? Do you find the world to be all that and perhaps a little more? Does it intimidate you where do you find a way to intimidate the world?
I think you have the ability to be anything you want to be.
So as the sun sets on another day, keep evolving. Keep adding points to your point list. Keep becoming the infinite version of you that can deal with all the things going on today, tomorrow, and forever. Find your way to be amazing every day, no matter what.
Sleep sweet, love life, and thanks for being you…
