Every day is a new day.
A new morning, a new breeze onto shore, a new ray of light from the heaven's, a new drop of rain to grow the grass, a new leaf falling from an autumn tree, a new smile from a new person, a new cloud grazing the water bed's, a new dragonfly skimming the lake's surface.
Sure the clouds gather themselves in similar shapes as you've once seen, and the sun seems as bright as it had the day before, every tiny splatter of rain seems to leave that itchy feel on you as last years rain did and every morning seems to follow the same routine as yesterday.
But as the most brilliant J said, it is all perception.
Maybe we only look at the rain and think, "we've got some bad weather today, almost matches up to last years storms!" We consistently recall on past experiences and link them, make the instant connection. And it's what we're biologically made to do; find a pattern, find repetition, find comfort.
However, I think a lot of us can agree that we all like a bit of excitement, we like hearing about the person who did something we would never dare of doing, we like hearing the siren go off from the sound boxes in our class rooms, a call for a fire drill so we all scurry out in masses, talking about 'what if..' and frantically searching for our friends so to have a laugh. The teachers frantically yelling at us in search of 'lost' students that could be captured in the blaze.
We like that sort of thing, it gets us out of our comfort zone, as long as we go back to our every day routine afterward. We like an expedition to the other side.. as long as our huts and caves, the ones with our stick figures drawn on the walls, are still remaining when we return.
But, if it's our perception; we can live in the hollowness of every day moments, the compulsory occasions that drag on and on and we can face the meaningless drivel that we have to do, to get by or to go somewhere.
But to do so, we have to mix it up, for ourselves.
Have you ever looked back at a moment in your life and thought, 'wow if I hadn't done that, my whole entire life would be different'. It's that one moment in your life, that changes everything and it only happens once in a while?
Well no. That is wrong. I mean, the one moment part.
'One moments' happens every second of every day, every moment is a.. one moment, a moment that could potentially change everything.
When we're faced with a group of 'one moment's', in our eyes; its the usual thing, nothing exciting ever happens during it, we all know what's going to proceed. But we are making that decision, we are choosing to have the same reaction to the things that take place. However, we all have the ability to do something we wouldn't have usually done; we can skip instead of walk, even that could change a conversation, leading onto a new friendship, a new experience, new foresight.
Don't sit there glum thinking you can't do anything about it, because the fact is you can.
If you want to do something, you can do it.
If you want something, you can have it.
The only barriers, are in your mind.
If you need to get away, because you've been stuck in the same routine of misery for the last five years and you just need to get that place you usually only go to for x-mas break, so you can clear your mind and think the world through, get on it!
Jump on that plane! Row that boat! Hop in that car or walk it!
Whether it's getting the coffee in your work break, or some extravagant white chocolate and honeycomb, whipped creamed, ice.. drink that only the fourteen year old's in the cafe are getting, or picking up the Age instead of the Herald Sun, writing in green pen instead of black or packing your bags to Indonesia instead of Italy. It is these things that make life interesting, sure the huge ones that completely change your experience, but even the small, like the accent you decide to speak to people in for the day, can give you that little giddy-up of happiness and excitement.
Each action has a completely different outcome.
You see, I could get up right now, get my clothes and go to school.. or I could have a shower, and then get my clothes and go to school, or a I could wait until I have a class I'm going to learn in, and then get my stuff together and go to school. Everything would change in every situation.
You really can be the change you want to see in the world.
I've never understood why it was an oyster, but the world truly is, your oyster.
