*Life is like … an omelette or omelet

โ€œYou canโ€™t make an omelet without breaking the eggs.โ€ Joseph Campbell

cheesy omelette

Why do we expect that we can transform our lives without any challenges? …

Why do we think something is wrong when we find ourselves in one of the lows of life? …

In order to transform you need to break some eggs.

Have you broken any eggs recently?

Good.

Now start on your omelette!

Mine is a cheesy one ๐Ÿ˜‰

  2. Val, I have had some great life lessons from breaking eggs along the way and I teach my children the same! Our journey can teach us wonderful understandings no matter what it brings..

  3. WOW did I need this one! “Why do we think something is wrong when we find ourselves in one of the lows of life? โ€ฆ” It’s so damn true! Sometimes I forget, though, and beat (egg joke, ah yolk??) myself up about feeling low.

This blog came to life one morning in 2013.  I woke up with these words in my mind:  “Life is a series of highs and lows. Be grateful for the highs. Be graceful in the lows. And find contentment in your Middle Ground.”

Find Your Middle Ground blog started to explore, reflect, ask deep questions, share insights about awakening, and connect with wonderful people like yourself. Thank you for being here and being such an inspiration.
