Sliced Bread? Seeking peace and joy is a slippery slope if it is a destination and not a present feeling. For example, right this moment I feel a sense of joy in creativity. Will this be the greatest thing. I have. Ever created?... Well why should that be a concern? In comparing the present to the. Greatest we. Diminish our joy and disturb our peace. Does that mean we shouldn’t shoot for quality or improvement? Of course it does not...because our efforts are not only for us but for the service of others and we don’t really. Know where our pieces fit in the puzzles of others.
If you really want to feel like you. Understand. Your. Accomplishments by a standard that is external well build yourself a liberal list and make it your own—not someone else’s .
Give this a try..
So before sliced bread what was the standard for bread?—a loaf...and before that?...bread that was only half-burned?
If that doersn’t work try a car or transportation in general. Say “this is the greatest thing since a four-wheeled car... and work your way back. Now this is the greatest thing since the car that you had to get out of to crank. Start and before that this was the greatest thing since the horse?
Anyway when you come upon something that you feel okay about....try not to describe it in a comparison way.. Don’t steal its joy.
This. Has been joyful writing for. Me... maybe I’ll go have some toast.
