Reduce the ‘tolerance level’ of your wonder - and your entire life becomes wonderful
The absolute wonder of the trees, the sky, fresh air, the fact you’re even here to experience life in the first place, the impressiveness of skyscrapers, how animals live their lives so uniquely, the broad range of emotions we can feel, an incredible song, the taste of a good meal.
At a base level, our ‘day to day’ experience is so incredible if you would only stop and think about it.
There is so much to be grateful for, so much joy to be had In the simplest of things.
Your body, powered by some unseen controller unconsciously doing all the millions of processes that keep us alive, for decades. Is that not cause for celebration?
Because it is commonplace, we lose our level of reverence. This state of wonder hits us from time to time when we see something truly incredible; the horizon of a national park, a particularly impressive sunset or sunrise. But every horizon has things to wonder at, every sunrise or sunset is unique because that day will never happen again.
Think about how darn-tootin special it is that you can even read these words - That thoughts coming through my head can be typed across the other side of the world, sent instantly to you so that they may download into your mind and improve your life.
Gratitude will up level your life. IN every moment there are things that go unnoticed and unappreciated, to the point we focus on the very small number of ‘negatives’ that are happening to us. What you focus on, grows. SO ensuring your default as much as possible is one of appreciation, gratitude and wonder means that all those beautiful things will increase in scope and number.
The griper and moaner will complain and say that life is lame, boring, and that nothing good every happens to him. His perspective means his experience of life is lesser than it could be, with all circumstances the exact same.
The change comes with you first.
When you have faith and act with the belief that things will change, only then will they change. If you act only to believe that things will remain the same, so they will do so.
