I love the idea of “Beautiful Chaos”- Our lives are literally filled to the brim with both chaotic and beautiful moments. I feel the key to living well is to find the ying and yang or balance in these possibly opposing forces. If you have ever been to Times Square, pictured above, it is the essence of BEAUTIFUL CHAOS.
Follow me on this one…
- Beauty in the… People, Energy, Diversity, Arts (street performers mainly)
- Chaos in the… Loud Sounds, Imagery, Movement, Smells
This experience hits pretty much all of your senses in a fairly abrasive way. It seems to be non stop. “The City that Never Sleeps”, right?
Do you ever stop in your work day, fully aware of the barrage of emails, phone calls, texts, and demands of life closing in on you, and still find beauty in the unexpected?
How about this…
Find BEAUTY in… The rush of warm air when you step outside from an ice cold office environment, your co-workers too funny to miss weekend story, the “you got this” encouragement from a leader or friend, or simply knowing that after work you get to do something you love… (That could be family, a good workout, a great meal, your latest favorite read, or your Netflix addiction.)
There is literally BEAUTY everywhere. We should challenge ourselves this week to look around and FIND BEAUTY IN THE CHAOS.
