Coming off the Mountaintop

We all enjoy “mountaintop” moments—times where life is exhilarating and everything seems to be in its right place. These instances are memorable and inspiring. Yet they are also fleeting, often passing away more quickly than they came.

It is tempting to live our lives from one “mountaintop” moment to the next, but doing this often leads to disappointment. The next “big thing” doesn’t come as quickly as we would like, or it doesn’t turn out to be as spectacular as the last “big thing”.

We must learn to seek joy, beauty, and contentment in the everyday things while also enjoying the “mountaintop” moments when they come.

Yet when these "mountaintop" moments pass, we must let them go.

How do you find joy, beauty, and contentment in everyday life?
