I hope these thoughts give you something to ponder while you enjoy your morning beverage. As you go about your day, I invite you to take some time to reflect on your observations. Consider if there’s anything you can do to enhance your life, such as looking into the mirror and appreciating yourself. You may also find a way to make the world more beautiful with a simple act of kindness. Perhaps you can hold the door open without expecting a thank you. You may also want to consider if you have a gift to share with the world. Maybe you have some untapped talent you regret wasting, as we sometimes do with unused towels or our good china. I hope you find them enjoyable and return for more tomorrow.
Normal
What is normal?
The dictionary defines it as people conforming to a standard, something expected.
However, we each have our own standards and expectations, so we each have a different definition of normal.
For some, being normal is being serious all the time. While for others, it is being silly all the time. And still, some find a little of both works best for them. Our standard may not be our friends or family’s normal, but that is okay.
Conforming to other people’s ideals should not be typical. In many cases, it is because that is what is expected. However, when we do this, we are taking away from ourselves and not giving our best selves to the world.
While there may be times that we should conform for the moment, it does not mean we need to alter who we truly are all the time.
Normal is what you define it to be for yourself and what others define it to be for themselves. We cannot define normal to the world and expect the world to adapt to our definition.
Today’s challenge:
Be your normal, and allow others to be their normal.
