Numinous
Numinous
Adjective – Describing an experience that makes you fearful yet fascinated, awed yet attracted – the powerful, personal feeling of being overwhelmed and inspired.
I know I’ve said it before, but I will say it again. Life is short. Plain and simple. It’s just not long enough and can be cut even shorter due to illness, accidents, etc.
What does this mean for the life that you are in the middle of living right now this second? It means that your life is special. Precious, even…
How do you make the most of something so fantastic? Fill it with fantastic things. New things. Fun things. Emotions. Experiences. Trials and tribulations (they do build character and teach amazing lessons, after all).
The past few months, particularly since September, I have been saying “yes” a lot more. I have been trying out new things. I have been meeting new people. Speaking my mind. Having fun. Experiencing life instead of just coasting along. Telling people how I feel. Going for what I want. Daring to do things that scare me.
Doing scary things is a wonderful way to become more comfortable with who you are and teach yourself that there are more important things in life. Scared of getting outside your comfort zone? Think of all the amazing things that could happen if you even just toed the line. Pushing your limits and doing things that make you uncomfortable teach you that you are stronger than you think and that you are capable of anything that you set your mind to. Not to mention, it makes for some unforgettable memories.
May you have many numinous experiences and enjoy every moment of your time on this earth :)
