The Beauty in the Moment

“If your everyday life seems poor, don't blame it; blame yourself; admit to yourself that you are not enough of a poet to call forth its riches; because for the creator there is no poverty and no indifferent place.” Rilke

Oftentimes, I find myself disenchanted with reality. Things usually don't work out the way I intended. I was feeling this way earlier today and I came across this Rilke quote. It completely changed my perspective. Then, I came across this one too... "Perhaps everything terrible is in its deepest being something helpless that wants help from us." Another paradigm shift:-) What if I could adopt these points of view? I would be grateful for the opportunities within challenges and aware of the beauty in each moment. I could let go of expectations that won't be met and embrace whatever I can learn from this moment. What could have been my worst day, could turn into the most amazing opportunity to help uncover something beautiful. Maybe, I could get out of my head and help someone else. I'm open to this. I'm open to the possibility of a better way.

Take refuge in truth.
