  • Have you ever had that moment in time when you see everything in your life with crystalline clarity?  For that one moment it all makes sense and you know that you may not have perfect happiness, wouldn't know what to do with perfect happiness if it arrived gold-plated anyway, but you know it's going to be all right?


    I haven't.  I keep thinking that if I read the right article, apply the proper self-improvement technique, or pray the right prayer, things are going to fall magically into place.  And they don't.  And it just occurred to me that this doesn't necessarily mean that there's something wrong with me or that I'm not doing life right. 


    Now that I've had that thought, I think I'm going back to bed.

  • I'm trying to think of the right adjective for this epiphany. Gotta have shades of paradox about it.

  • Oh.....but it is going to be all right. 

  •  Nope, what I get are moments of knowing it's all going to hell in a handbasket, no matter what I do to stop any of it. That's not ok with me, but I can't seem to make it be anything else.

  • Yes, actually, I have. Brief, crystal clear moments in broad daylight. Twice.  When I realized all was perfect. I was in the right place at the right time and all was in harmony in the universe.  To put it simply, but I don't know any other way to put it.

  • Just twice actually, it was a odd feeling, I didnt recognize it for what it was until later... interesting feeling though

  • "Going back to bed" is your first mistake. Quitters never win. Period. It takes LONG ass hours and tenacity to get where you want to be. Somewhere in your bible you will find the words, “God helps those who help themselves.” Badda-big.
     
    Life is to short to sleep away. Get up, use every moment as productively as you can. If it does not work out… sail on. It was a learning experience. You can’t take care of business in lullaby land Terri.
     
    Get up, get motivated and get inspired. Learn from each moment of each day and soon you will have all you desire and more.
     
    Yes, more… and yes, MORE is better.
     
    Keep the faith in YOU.
     Sail on… sail on!!!

  • I've had a few epiphanies, as SteveJ calls it, and sometimes it's perfectly OKAY to crawl back under the covers.  Dreadpirate is a little too perky for my tastes!  LOL.  Easier said than done, bub.  Somedays I feel like I've accomplished something just by washing a dish or two or running a load of laundry.  I have no desire to conquer the world for crying out loud. 

  • deep thoughts :) when you come to terms with it, you realise that what you already have is pretty good :)

  • Yep, I'm with Hip_n_Hop... it's all in the magical mystical awe of the moment of Now.

  • I don't know if I'll ever get life right but I try to be content with where I'm at.

    Yea, I know. Easier said than done.

  • I hope you went back to bed and lay down to pleasant dreams. smooch.

  • I remember coming to the place you mention in the blog above.  At first, I was discouraged upon the realization, but remembered this is not my home: these are just stops on the journey. 

    I often say that somewhere back in the beginning of language, the words for "struggle" and "life" were one in the same.  I think the longer I live, the less I realize I know and understand, but it's okay with me because I know Who I have believed in and trust that He who began a good work in me WILL BE FAITHFUL to complete it! ((GHUGS!)))  Hope you got your nap out.  

  • If it makes you feel any better, I've had those epiphanies but the lasting effects have been minimal for me.  The only thing that has made it through my thick skull over time is that things do eventually get better.

    I hope your nap was a good one and RYC, I don't think that dream is too out of line, do you?

  • Oh, I want one of those moments too. Do you ever look back and see how far you have grown, that kind of sometimes puts things into perspective for me. I suspect you have grown and changed lots too. I think that as long as we are on earth we are works in progress. Boy would I like to be a finished product.

  • I haven't had that kind of moment either. That's just the way it goes, I guess.

  • When you make the decision to go to bed, remember that the answers you seek are often discovered through your dreams. So, you are actually not giving up anything and you are possibly getting the best rest you've ever had. I do that often and then I sometimes wake up with a bunch of "ah ha" moments.
