Well... you just hit the nail right on the head here. This has definitely been a recurring lesson for me over the last few years.
I always try to step back from a tough situation, and instead of being stressed and anxious of what the outcome will be, I remind myself that I always tend to be pleasantly surprised with how it all turns out, so seeing things with wonder and excitement makes the process so much easier on me. Easier said than done, of course.
Another reassurance I like to give myself in times where I truly have no idea where we'll be next (and in fact, I am going through that right now with my family), I meditate on the fact and visualize that we are super happy wherever it is we'll be. So surely wherever it is we do end up being, all will be well, because we will be happy there. This has helped me lots over the last few years, and during times where I just don't know exactly what I want for myself.
A quote I love by Bashar comes to mind here as well, "Life is fundamentally meaningless, because YOU give it meaning".
I'm glad I found your page, @copa-communion, I do love the term perpetual astonishment, it definitely sits well with me :) Onwards and upwards to all on this journey, spiral out <3
Thanks for your message. Yes, it sounds like you have discovered the magic of living with a mindset of perpetual astonishment and find the blessings of expressing gratitude but only whenever you remember. Welcome on the journey
