Indifferent Days

Why is it that the end of the year is always cause for reflection and contemplation? Is it because we are compelled to gauge our lives by absolutes? We have this need to put our lives into a little yearly vignette that we then process and analyze for all that it was and all that it was not.

We tend to rate our year through the lenses of success, defeat, loss and gain. What about all the days that had none of that? What about all the days that were just indifferent? I was still alive and it is those lukewarm days that led me to find a little success, some defeat, a bit of loss and a few gains in 2007.

My advice is to focus this year on the indifferent days where you truly have little more to go on than your gut instinct and a whole lot of faith. They tend to be the catalysts for bigger things.

Not always great things. Just bigger.
