There are a plethora of things that people are good at. My viewpoint in particular is that EVERYONE is good at SOMETHING, and has the potential to be GREAT at it. One of the facets of the journey of life itself is finding that thing. Some people find it close to right out the, others find it, like me, in young adulthood, others later in life. But one of the more important findings, arguably something FAR MORE profound, and life changing, is when you find the one thing that you aren’t GREAT at, might not even be GOOD at, and may NEVER be great at. It’s not a skill, a talent, a mindset, a routine, or even a small habit.
This thing, that no one in history ever has mastered, that has no current masters, and never will have a master, is…life. You will never be GREAT at, or MASTER…life itself. No one is great at life. You can ask every single person on the planet, who is truly real, and they will tell you that one thing that they have not mastered is life as a whole itself.
This is one truth of understanding that once you do understand it, it will change your life forever, ironically bringing you a little bit closer to even achieving it, but again, you won’t, and that is wonderful! What would be the joy of mastering life? Life is everything, and if everything that encompasses us is achieved, we have reached a mountain that we would wish not to climb back down from, but would feel bored of staying there any longer either.
How free it is to know this! How joyful to know that the end of the road is only the end of our road alone, and the true road never ends. You are freed from perfection, you are freed from overanalyzing, you are freed from restraints of fear. This is it! Enjoy knowing that the most important thing in all of humanity is something that you will never master, you may just be okay, and that’s okay. It’s okay…sometimes…to be okay.
