Don't you just adore those snow globe ornaments that you turn upside down and either shake the shit out of, or gently swirl depending on your mood?
You can either have a raging lunatic storm or a gentle peaceful flutter of flakes.....
That's a bit like life.
Life can be what you make of it. Some choose to move through their life course without creating a ripple and just let the calm surf take them on their journey. Others ebb and flow like the crashing waves created by a hurricane, twisting and turning and never knowing what will appear below the surface. Enjoying the apparent adrenaline of the unknown.
Can we have both? Is it possible to make like a snow globe, sitting there perfect and calm most of the time, only to have our world turned upside down and shaken up till its ready to explode, like a bottle of bubbly in the hands of a podium winner, then set it back down on the shelf and watch the chaos turn back to calm?
I think it is, and I think it might be essential to creating a balance in life. We need the chaos to balance out the calm. We all need a bit of yin and yang in our lives.
No one can ride the lows without the highs. Traveling life's journey without the occasional shake up would be downright boring - that shit'll kill ya! Being at full throttle constantly would be exhausting - that shit'll kill ya too!
So from now on, I'm not gonna wince at a little snow storm. I'm gonna grab that snow globe with both hands every so often and just shake it up a little.
Live like its the last day of your life.....sometimes.
Cheers
