How does the mundane connect with learning to hope? Furthermore, how does the mundane change the world? Let me show you!
It Is A Matter Of Perspective
Do you think that your daily life is boring, dull and routine? Do you believe that you don’t make a difference in life? I am here to argue that you do! Listen to this sweet and romantic story:
My husband and I had been dating for a few months when he broke off the relationship. He had some rough situations in his life that he needed to resolve before committing to any relationship.
After a year passed, he called my father to get my telephone number. My dad was ill at the time and did not think or converse clearly. Dad could not remember my number so told my husband what town I lived in.
Unfortunately, dad told him the wrong town! This was before the internet and search engines so Steve had to call the phone operator for “information”. It was her job to find listings for names in the requested city.
Not finding my number, she could have easily ended the call after searching for me in the first city he asked for. Rather than give up, he explained why he was looking for my number. She helped him find me by looking under every city name in the state that started with an H! The rest of the story is history.
A routine request for her rocked our world!
What Would The World Be Like Without The Mundane?
We actually need the boring, routine stuff of life. What would life be like if no one in your household cleaned, paid the bills or took out the trash? As a result, we would lose our residence while our surroundings became unlivable and unsanitary.
Consider the sanitation workers where removing trash from residential and commercial areas is probably a pretty routine job. Recently I saw a video on Facebook that brightened my day and I am sharing that moment of encouragement here:
You can change the world by going about your everyday business! A smile can ease the pain of a broken heart, a word of encouragement can lift someone’s spirit. A moment of going the extra mile can help create a marriage and ultimately a family!
We may not always be a superhero to the world but, we can be a superhero to someone who crosses our path. Just remember the mundane can change the world.
My challenge to you is to learn to love the mundane things in life because you never know when you might change someone’s life for the better. I guarantee that helping someone will lift your spirits and give you positive energy. As a related topic read my article ….Am I Good Enough?
