In our journey in life, we are being told with lots of things and we tend to believe in the end, without realizing that it is merely just "us" who'll makes what we really are.

Being Ordinary Is A Gift

Sometimes we feel too much insecurity as to why people don't seem to see us, we don't seem has ever existed in their lives, and don't even recognized us sometimes. We even hide ourselves from them from time to time. Generally speaking, this is what we usually feel and our common reaction towards. Nevertheless, without realizing the favor it is giving to us! What I am trying to say is that, being us "as an ordinary people", keeps us away from trouble the fact that we are not always the target of these what we call "politicians", who loves making other people life's into a difficult situation, who likes seeing other people unhappy! Which makes them happy!!

It is not good for all our wishes to be filled; through sickness we recognize the value of health; through evil, the value of good; through hunger, the value of food; through exertion, the value of rest.

"Healing Zen"
Often we take for granted just being ordinary. We feel the constant pressure to compete, to excel, and to be special. The fact is most people are average with respect to any particular human characteristic. That is the definition of average, and yet many are not satisfied with the average or ordinary and tend to be discontent and always striving. It is a great relief and healing when you realize that just being ordinary and your ordinary life are wonderful gifts. When people are ill often they long to return to their ordinary life and to be able to do the things they ordinarily do like climbing a flight of stairs, going grocery shopping, or driving a car. Many times when I have taken care of young people with a serious illness like diabetes they've felt sad and frustrated because they had to stick to a special diet and take insulin while all the other kids could eat whatever they wanted and just be normal. They longed to be able to do ordinary things in life like go to school, get a job, get married and have a baby. Many worked very hard to accomplish these goals.

Zen practice helps you full appreciate your ordinary life. With awareness, the ordinary becomes extraordinary. You need to pay attention to what you are doing. Be one with each task, action, or thing. In this way you will discover your true nature and the true nature of each thing will shine through, illuminating everyday life. You will perceive the richness of life and feel blessed just to be an ordinary person.
