What is your biggest surprise in life?
How does one even start this? I'd like to say that some of my biggest surprises is when I've found myself more forgiving, more loving, more compassionate, more giving, more understanding than I ever thought I could be. Defying the boundaries that my mind and it's idea of who I am have placed on me. On the contrary, my biggest surprise also is how quickly it is to fall back into that state. To be the person my mind has grown accustomed to being. That judgmental, quickly irritable person who gets so wound up in her head and the little things in life. Sometimes I just think to myself, "Tomorrow I'll start being present....Tomorrow I'll stop thinking about this or that." The past is a memory and the present is a fantasy, all I truly have is right now. That is one of the hardest concepts for humans to grasp.
Today, I wasn't fully the person I'd like to be.
I accept that.
I am flawed and I am on my journey.
I can't keep breaking myself down when I fumble.
The biggest surprise in my life is the grace and support of everything around me, even the soul.
