#408 Come what may, you’ll be okay

I write about the same topics over and over again, with slightly different words.

I listen to people explaining the same topics over and over again, with a slightly different interpretation.

I practice the same breathing exercises every day, becoming aware of changes so subtle it’s hard to believe they make any difference.

While all that energy spent on what seems like “repeating” and “reviewing” might seem like a waste of time, the constant revisiting of things we already know is how I grow.

Because with every repetition I’m discovering a new part of the same insight.

A new nuance that in itself might seem insignificant, but added to my personal experience, insights, understanding, might make all the difference.

And with every new insight, I become a little less blind to what’s already here.

In the process, I have to accept that the perfect words might never come.

The perfect explanation might never come.

The perfect execution of a skill might never happen.

But if I stay the course, my understanding of what matters to me in life will always keep growing.

At some point, through all the practicing, learning, reading, writing, I might stumble upon a groundbreaking insight.

Or maybe it never happens.

It doesn’t matter. I feel fulfilled regardless… As long as I keep sculpting away, day by day.
