A Leap in the Dark

CC said: Detta talade verkligen direkt till mig i dag. Satt just och funderade över vad jag skulle hitta på för extra, när allt kändes så förutsägbart. Lite av tristess som man skulle kunna ”bota” med precis som du skrev, att göra en liten ändring i alla fall. Funderade också över varför det, i alla fall för mig, periodvis fungerar bra att allt bara flyter på och ibland känns stressande att det är så.

A Leap in the Dark

Living is a form of not being sure, not knowing what next or how. The moment you know how, you begin to die a little. The artist never entirely knows. We guess. We may be wrong, but we take leap after leap in the dark.

Most of us want to live a “safe” life. We want the same people to remain by our side, we want things to stay the way they have always been. If we have been okay at our workplace the last thirteen years, let’s keep on working there. For breakfast, we like to have the same cheese and tomato sandwich with a cup of coffee, year after year. No unforeseen changes, please!

Very often, however, life does not work that way. Suddenly there’s a crack: our loved one leaves us, we get a surprising job offer, or the family doctor bans our morning coffee. Life equals change, and we might as well get used to it. Change equals surprises and that’s the stunning thing about life. Isn’t it amazing that you have no clue about what’s up next? That there’s always something unforeseen coming up? I think so!

Life’s number one motto is Embracing Changes. Try to change one of your habits this week. Take a different route to your job. Have porridge for breakfast. Read a book you wouldn’t spontaneously pick up. Join a club for kite surfing. Expect the unexpected; take a leap in the dark! ;-)
