I think we all hit low points every now and then. A point where we stop and look at life and the place we are at and ask, ‘where am I going?’ or ‘what am I doing?’
When we get to this point it always seems as some sort of shock, like we just realized it. Yet, the truth of the matter is that it could be a result of our own complacency, built up over time. We get comfortable in our little lives. We allow the dullness to please us, overlooking the fact that we can change things. We find ourselves stuck in a situation we don’t want to be in. C.S. Lewis wrote that we are all half-hearted creatures, easily pleased by the superficial things when there is so much more to life. We can miss the joy when we are too easily pleased.
In the moments we dare to think differently, we see a glimpse of where we can go and what we can do. When we lift our heads out of the fog we sit under, we see the brightness of where we can be.
But in this grey morn of man's life
Cometh sometime to the mind
A little light that leaps and flies,
Like a star blown on the wind.
