Nothing in nature as straight lines. Not absolutely 100% straight. Trees have notches and branches, blades of grass have slight curves, even the horizon is curved ever so slightly. Our bodies have beautiful curves and valleys.
Yet we expect our journeys or processes to evolve along a straight and forward direction with no deviation. We get angry, discouraged or give up all together if things dont go to plan.
Work.
Family.
Relationships
Submission
The dips curves and valleys is what gives us grace, gives us experience and if we stood back and took a look at where we are, who we have become, you would see your beauty and courage. Learn to love those deviations. Those curves. Going deadly straight is unnatural. And to be honest a little boring. If things went the way we had planned 100% of the time there would be no adventure, no passion, no growth.
I thought about this as I walked my dog on the beach. Wondering why she can't walk a straight line. Constantly moving from one side to the next in her happy exploration..... happy...... so happy to be looking around at everything that passes her.
Lessons do not always have to be big moments. We can learn from every little thing around us. Take the time to observe.
Observe not just others but yourself.
Observe nature.
Observe emotions.
Growth is all around us in its beauty sometimes its so slow it seems insignificant. Like watching a tree grow, reaching for the sky, building its strength. It takes time. It seems insignificant. But the end result is masterful.
Sending infinite love and gratitude to you all.
