The Ordinary Revolution

Sometimes, I want to revolutionize the world , my world, everyone's world....(easy-peasy, right) 

Today I was reminded of the importance of the mundane , in an off handed fashion by one of my favorite Authors. 

                                              “As long as the vision of heaven is always changing, the vision of earth will be                                                      exactly the same. No ideal will remain long enough to be realized, or even partly                                                realized. The modern young man will never change his environment; for he will always change his mind.”― 

G.K. Chesterton, Orthodoxy

The importance of being consistent in doing the daily mundane things of life, is often under-rated. 

However, revolutions that have brought lasting change have been borne by individuals who have lived consistent with their ideas, convictions and it has furthermore come by hard work...every day, character-building hard work. 

It is difficult to see revolution in daily life but that is the only way it will come. 

So, in weeding the garden, gathering vegetables, playing the instruments, killing the flies, running, learning...This is the character building ground for change to be able to occur. 

Live your revolution every day!
