What is it that makes us tick? For some people it's their children, for others its the work they're doing, for some its the new person who has just come into their life, for some its their hobby whether its dance or painting........what is common in all of these? It seems to be something that is free from any kind of show or pretense, something that makes people feel true to themselves, something that they're around or when they're doing has no sense of fakeness to it......they are truly being there because they enjoy it immensely, there is no compulsion in it.
Then I think sometimes, wouldn't it be beautiful if each moment of our lives was like that. That each moment we are doing something that we enjoy immensely, that gives us such joy that when we are doing that, then there is no sense of time or space, or no compulsion involved in it. But for that I guess it's important to take time out now and again and review what we're doing, reflect on how it's making us feel. Maybe at one time it was the best thing to do.......but now we may have grown and need to move to something else. I think sometimes it is this fear of change, fear of instability that creates stagnation in our lives.......we are comfortable in our routines, in our daily lives. We feel that by just adding a few sparks here and there we can rid ourselves of the monotony we create. But isn't that just mediocrity i wonder? If we have the capability to enjoy each and every moment of our lives to the fullest, but decide to live a life which brings only a few moments of immense pleasure and happiness........then have we settled in for mediocrity?
