If you listen to the weather you’ll hear them describe days as either rainy, or sunny. As if the Sun takes rainy days off. Which is of course ridiculous, the Sun shines every day, whether or not clouds show up. Because the Sun is so incredibly consistent, most people don’t think about it. When you know that something is going to happen every day, it doesn’t make a lot of sense to mention it when you are communicating. Entirely sunny with heavy thunderstorms is shortened to just heavy thunderstorms. So this incandescent star somehow fades into the background.
Much like with the weather, people focus on the changes in their life and ignore consistent circumstances. But the steady, boring circumstances of life are far more important than the occasional changes. When things take a turn for the worse, people laser in on what’s changing. On what things are becoming worse right now.
It’s worthwhile to take a step back. See what things have not changed, and take a moment to appreciate them. Secondly, it’s worthwhile to understand the long term effects of current challenges. Without rain, you wouldn’t see any flowers.
How have my current problems benefitted me? If this seems like an odd question, it’s worth considering why you are working on them. If you don’t gain something important for your efforts, why are you working on them?
Way cool! Some very valid points! I appreciate you penning this article and the rest of the site is extremely good. Cloris Windham Benito
