One of the most interesting things about life is how small things become, after success or growth.
Whenever I go to the house I grew up in, I wonder how it was able to hold so many memories and people. It just seems so small now.
When I resigned from my first paying job after University, I was amazed at how normal everyone there looked from the outside, including the bosses. Everyone just seemed so regular.
When I moved on from my first relationship, I could not explain the illusions that kept me transfixed. The world just looked different.
When I get promoted from a role, it becomes more obvious how limiting the range of my concerns were, and how limited the influence I actually had was. My interpretation of events become more sincere.
Why wait for success or growth to show you how small your world is, relative to the available possibilities?
Whatever you are currently experiencing is not the full story. It is a tiny part of the story. Understanding this, will help you delay judgment until you get new eyes from a higher view. There is always a higher view.
