Sometimes the really important work in life doesn’t feel very important when you’re in the midst of it.
Instead, it feels hard, looks quite unimpressive and would be easier to just dismiss. Because of this, I often find myself wanting to move on to things that look or seem more important. I want to work on the seen things. Our minds are trained to believe that if nobody sees the quiet, hard work, then does it really matter? In a world that glorifies what it sees, or what is posted on FB or Instagram, often it’s the small personal areas of our mind, heart & soul that we neglect.
To be honest, I’ve been in a bit of a “blah” season of life lately. Nothing particularly awful, but just a lot of normal crap. You know what I mean. Life is like that sometimes. But what I’ve noticed is that when I feel like this, it’s easier for my mind to wander. I am more prone to comparison, a tad more easily offended and just overall, a less fun person to be around.
But being that you don’t actually live in my mind with me, (go ahead and say a quick “Hallelujah” right now) I can easily present a fairly put together package on the outside while inside, my thoughts are leading me astray.
Chances are, you’ve experienced this yourself at one time or another. From the conversations I’ve had over the years with countless women, it seems to be something that we females struggle with quite a bit.
