“Joy is not a constant. It comes to us in moments - often ordinary moments. Sometimes we miss out on the bursts of joy because we're too busy chasing down the extraordinary moments. Other times we're so afraid of the dark we don't dare let ourselves enjoy the light. A joyful life is not a floodlight of joy. That would eventually become unbearable. I believe a joyful life is made up of joyful moments gracefully strung together by trust, gratitude and inspiration” BelieveMadeSometimesMomentsLightInspirationTogetherLife IsJoyI BelieveEnjoyDarkMissingGratitudeOrdinaryConstantExtraordinaryBusyDareJoyfulChasingUnbearableToo BusyJoyful LifeOrdinary MomentsExtraordinary MomentsJoyful Moments Author:Brené Brown
“Four experts had an appointment with an ordinary man. They needed him to ratify their findings, or anything they achieved would be meaningless. As they drove to meet him, they knocked down a man on the road. He was dying. If they tried to save him, they might miss their appointment. They decided that their appointment, which concerned all of us, was more important than the life of one man. They drove on to keep their appointment. They did not know that the man they were to meet was the man they had left to die.” IfsKnowsMenImportantMightWould BeDiesLeftFourDyingMissingHe ManNeededFindingsOrdinaryConcernedDecidedExpertsOne ManMeaninglessAppointmentsOrdinary ManKnocked Down Author:William McIlvanney
“There have been many articles about the top regrets that people have when they're dying. They are always, "I missed the ordinary moments." We miss those ordinary moments, and yet, that's what we're trying to distract ourselves from at the same time.” PeopleTryingHas BeensMomentsDyingMissingRegretOrdinaryArticlesOrdinary Moments Author:Geneen Roth
