Mundane Monday Challenge #55

Birds of a feather usually flock together, but this solitary fellow was off by himself gazing out at the water.

I got to thinking about how I love to sit by the ocean and reflect on my life: past, present and future. Away from other people and the hustle bustle of daily living. The only conversation I engage in is with myself. My feet buried in the warm sand and feeling the cool sea breezes against my face.

Since we have much in common with animals, I wondered if he was doing and feeling the same things. 

Or, if he was merely contemplating which direction to fly in order to make a tasty catch for dinner.

Which, if I sit on the beach long enough, I do, too. Yes, we are alike.

Walls Quote

Quite often, when faced with important life changes or a decision that will alter life as we know it, we cling to what’s familiar. We tell ourselves that rather than take unnecessary risks, we should take the “safer” route. And that’s fine…if we’re truly happy doing things as we’ve always done them.

But, what if we’re not? What if the tiny voice of intuition is telling us there’s more we need to discover and learn in order to be truly fulfilled? What if there are things we always dreamed of doing, but haven’t yet tried? What about those goals we set many years ago that got lost in the shuffle of life? 

If there are changes we need to make, we should make them now. So, let’s find a ladder and see what’s on the other side of the walls that we’ve built.

They must often change, who would be constant in happiness or wisdom. ~ Confucius
