Hey, good morning, good afternoon, good evening. This is your life. This is your chance. Listen.
The word for today is wonder. I remember the first time I had my mind blown. I was maybe four or five years old and trying to fall asleep. I guess we had recently talked about how God has always existed at church, because I remember trying to process how old that makes God. My little mind started spinning in circles. What was before God? God was before God. It was a moment of wonder. I like how wonder can be both a state and an action. What do you wonder about? What are some topics that make your mind spin? If none come to mind, you likely need LESS concreteness in your life. The 2015 film, The Little Prince, depicts a life of literal concrete and order. It’s juxtaposed with the pilot’s existence, which includes grass, trees, dreams, and wonder. If you haven’t seen it, please put it on your list.
Today’s concrete challenge is to find a sense of wonder. A great place to look is NASA’s Image of the Day. If you prefer audio, check out NASA’s From Space to Sound. Wherever you find wonder, pull it up now and revel for a little while.
If you want to commit, say the following phrase: “I will look for and enjoy a sense of wonder today.”
I’ll keep the music playing while you get it done, and don’t miss the soundtrack at the end of this episode.
Before you go, repeat the following soundtrack, “I am the kind of person who looks for wonder.”
Let me know if this made a difference in your day by leaving a comment in your podcast app or at concrete.win/today.
Check back tomorrow for a new challenge. Until then.
