If you feel like you’re mentally stuck in a rut, making the same life mistakes, feel like your life is unchangeable, want to be a better person but don’t know how, and generally feel like you’re suffering from any number of pains, strains and angst – don’t worry – because firstly, you are not alone and secondly, there’s a good reason for it.
All too often we get consumed by the micro minutiae of every day living and end up losing sight of the bigger picture of our lives and their meaning. As Francis Chan said “Our greatest fear should not be of failure but of succeeding at things in life that don’t really matter.” But is this scenario resolved by some simple practical adjustments? Change a schedule here, cancel an appointment there, take up yoga and you’re done? Problem solved? Or is it fair to assume that there is a deeper imbalance to our lives that we ignore – consciously or not?
