I am beginning to understand that there is a very fine line between entertainment and distraction in life. One is an act of enjoyment or being amused for a time, or even a form of relaxation. The other is an escape from reality; a numbing.
When a person can’t find a deep sense of meaning, they distract themselves with pleasure.
~ Viktor Frankl
Remember how often we used to color when we were children?
It’s time for some self healing. It’s time to, as they say, do the work. Part of that work is being able to forgive.
These days we are learning a lot more about self healing. Whether you experienced major trauma as a child (abuse, neglect, etc.) or micro trauma (not being seen, heard, etc.), we are now finding that we have to ability to overcome any of our major past obstacles.
When’s the last time you learned something new? Like really stretched your brain from a place of complete lack of knowledge and understanding to a place of at least competency, if not mastery?
If there was one key to a happy, successful, and extraordinary life, what would it be? Do you know?
Me neither!
