Have you ever noticed yourself meandering through life thinking everything is all hunky-dory and suddenly realizing that you’re not having fun? And the more you think about it you haven’t been having much fun for some time?
Suddenly discovering a life sans joy, can happen to all of us at one time or another. I remember a story from some time ago, and I don’t remember where I heard it. A point was made using science experiment analogies with a frog and a beaker of water. Perhaps you know it?
It unfolds something like this…. If you drop a frog into a beaker of boiling water, the frog will immediately jump out of the water because it notices the water is too hot for survival.
On the other hand if you place a frog into a beaker of room temperature water and gradually turn up the flame, the frog will be dead before the water reaches boiling. Why? The frog got used to the gradual heat, and didn’t realize when the water got too hot.
That simple illustration is one that I don’t think I will ever forget. How often throughout my life even, have I allowed myself to stay in situations that were harmful to my spirit because I gradually acclimated to circumstances that were really intolerable.
If you find yourself in such a situation, or fear you may be headed there, stay tuned as tomorrow we begin to reveal the first two of 5 warning signs that you may need more joy or a sense of magic in your life.
