There Is More To Life

~ Life should never just be routine. Take action in interrupting the routine. Choose a new or different rhythm. A new or different direction ~ talkswitheve

There is more to life should be everyone’s mantra. What does your life look like? You know, those things that take place from the moment you wake up until you go back to bed?

Have you gotten into a routine? Waking up at the same time – more or less each morning? Doing the same things in preparing for the day? Going through the same routine – brushing your teeth, showering, fixing breakfast  – in whatever sequence of order.

We all go through the same basic morning routine. As a unique individual, the order in which you go about starting your day is, however, not the same. Nonetheless, we all get caught up in everyday life.

The meaning of everyday life

Without going too deep into the weeds, the meaning of everyday life is simply all the things you do daily. Some consciously, others unconsciously. Many of these things you do are normal and expected behaviors.

If you think about it for a moment, you will realize that for most of them, you have been pulled along. There really was not much of a choice – at least until you became an adult.

The routine begins from birth – for all of us. It’s the societal norm that we all follow – we attend school through the years until we graduate (hopefully) from high school. Everything we do each day becomes a part of our daily normal life.

An important moment is when we get to our first (of many) crossroads – deciding to continue or veer off the path. The normal and expected behavior after high school is to go on to the college experience.

The way we think (and act) has been guided by our parents and societal norms – for generations. However, we do have what is called free will, and we can make our own choices to do something different.

No matter your circumstances, they do not define you. You are always a decision away from changing your circumstances. Your circumstances are not all there is as you do not live in a bubble. Life is more than growing up, going to college, finding a good job, and making a lot of money.

Have you had the thought that there is much more than just reaching those milestones of societal norms? So you hit these milestones, then what?

There is more to life

There is more to life if you want there to be more. It all starts with you. Are you satisfied with your everyday life?

COVID-19 has shaken up our world. The coronavirus pandemic has forced us to change our circumstances. We have had to adjust to new behaviors and guess what? The way we used to think has changed because of our different circumstances.

Many of us are now working from home. Did you ever think you could do your job without leaving your home? How about our children? Attendance, for many families, is now virtual.

Homes are now classrooms, and parents are the teachers. Classes have become virtual. Did you even see that coming? None of us did for sure. But guess what? We have adjusted and we have grown through the process of our changes.

In making our way through the coronavirus pandemic, the routine of our everyday life is no longer our norm. We have a different routine, and even that may change depending on which day of the week, or circumstance.

You have changed and adjusted your life due to the coronavirus pandemic. Now you know there is more to you. There are skills and abilities you have that have never been explored – before now.

It takes skills and abilities to adjust to a new situation. The adjustments you made have shown that you have other layers to you. Whatever lies within you is waiting on you to bring it out.

The pressure of change brought about the revelation of more of you. Imagine how much more of yourself there is to discover.
