There Is Nothing Wrong With Living An Ordinary Life
Because life happens in small bits.
I am sure you probably feel the same way: you want to live a big life. At the end of the day, we all want to live big lives. But most of us never will. Deep down, as human beings, we all want our names to be remembered when we die. We want to be on a magazine cover for the whole world to see that we exist and are important.
A couple of weeks ago, I wrote this article: Are We All Afraid Of Being Irrelevant? And today, I was listening to the Happy Place podcast with Brené Brown, who was saying that in her 30s, she felt afraid of living a little life, but throughout her research, she found out that what most people miss when they need to deal with a significant trauma is an ordinary day.
They don’t think about all the big things that they once wanted to accomplish, they think about the small daily things in their lives that they now have lost.
I love this idea of ordinary days because there is so much power in living one day at a time with intention. I wrote before about this on The Power of Consistency: How To Change Your Life in One Day (Or One Day at The Time) and on Why Living One Day at A Time Is Not Enough.
