Appreciate the madness in real things.
If there's no uncertainty in your life, there's a complete lack of depth. Why? Because when you think you "no" everything that is going on you are not looking at what's actually happening in the world. There is so much that we do not see and do not understand, so to be at a place of "knowing" is actually at a place of ignorance. The true magic of life is diving into the depths of uncertainty, especially within your soul, and discovering what is truly possible for yourself that you didn't know you were capable of before.
But what if negative emotions and fear crawl in? You have to embrace them.
We live in a world that is riddled with complete chaos. Everything is going so fast that it's a miracle we are even able to keep ourselves together. But if we slow down a bit we are able to tap into all of the direction, wisdom, and security we need. How? Because when we take a moment to stop and appreciate what is going on right now in this moment we can actually see what is here vs. what's always off in the future. We can check in with ourselves and much more easily tap into our relationships with others.
But if we stay on the surface, it's like trying to build a home out of wallpaper.
When it all boils down to it, keeping your life on the surface level is not going to cut it when you want to do some serious development. If you really want to make some serious changes, you have to get down into the dirty and pick the weeds out yourself. Life isn't always pretty. In fact, life can be incredibly dirty and murky at times. But if you don't do the work that's necessary to heal it will always be that way for you. There will always be dark colors running through your heart.
But in real things (thoughts, feelings, experiences) that have some depth to them, they are not wallpaper in any way. They have some madness to them. They are not predictable, certain and they are almost always completely surprising. They rip the rug out from under you and help you pop right back up when you are down. It's a bit chaotic, but that is the point. The chaos is the attractive part. The chaos is the art. When you start to live in that place, your whole life becomes part of that painting. Then, when you begin to accept that you have a role to play in this world, you can begin to develop the faith driven hand of the painter.
But you have to build your foundations first.
So forget about the outer layers and focus on the inner layers first. Focus on building the strongest core and foundation and everything else will fall into place. Build your life on rock solid ground instead of flimsy wallpaper and everything becomes a hell of a lot easier.
Don't survive. Thrive.
