Amazing, inspirational, nothing-out-of-the-ordinary thoughts

For some reason today, I’ve had the most wonderful thoughts about nothing really of consequence except that it’s okay for things to be the way they are. This notion of acceptance for everything at the present moment really allows for a huge sigh of relief to be breathed by my inner-most conscience. I’ve been so busy lately planning and plucking at details and nitpicking moments in my life, dwelling and stressing and worrying (which always gets me completely no where) and today, it’s like a gust of wind came and blew all of those negative, hindering thoughts away. Today was the first time that I really looked at my life, in every aspect, respectively throughout the day, and said to myself “It’s okay that it’s like this” rather than thinking “I wish things were different”. Things WILL be different someday, and I may wish for them to be the way they are now, and then I’ll be kicking myself for wishing away my time in these present moments. What a silly thing to wish for. So many people live their lives dreaming and scheming of ways to change their present and current day to day lives, without actually living them. They focus on the future so much that they forget to see the present until it eventually becomes the past, and well, we all know that you cannot change the past. What’s done is done and you must move on. Today, however, my mind decided to take a vacation from the constant wheel-spinning that it is normally used to, and looked at everything and said “Okay, world. I see the hand you’ve dealt me, and I’ll raise you one better: I’m accepting it. I’m taking it and running with it, and you can’t stop me”. For the first time in perhaps forever, I looked at my current situation, a less than ideal one in way more than a few aspects as of a recent turn of events over the past year or so, and decided that I’m at peace with it. I’m okay that I’m not living where I want to be, or surrounded by the people that I want to be surrounded by all of the time. The fact that I don’t have everything I wish for makes those goals and wishes that much more special for when I will eventually get them. And for some other odd, unknown reason, today I put my faith in the fact that someday, who knows when, I WILL get what I want and what I deserve. Now isn’t that some wild hope, or what?
