Good(?)

 "The Good puts on the slowness of time as a poor garment, and in keeping with this change of dress one who serves it must be clothed in the insignificant figure of the unprofitable servant. With the eye of his senses he is not permitted to see the Good in victory. Only with the eye of faith can he strive after its eternal victory." - Soren Kierkegaard, Purity of Heart Is To Will One Thing (p.54)

I've been slogging through this book. Chapter after chapter of how/why we are not good. One cannot will the true Good if one is doing it for oneself. 

I don't disagree. But I do struggle. I falter. Fail. And today is another today. I still have faith that Good will prevail in the end regardless of me or my present circumstance.

On this day I also read a bit from James Clear... who had this to say:

"Children are joyful and treat each day as a miracle -- in part because they are continually surprised.

Each day, they hear a new word or listen to a new song or learn about a new animal. It's their first time visiting that restaurant or jumping in that pool or riding that rollercoaster. The world is continually unfolding before them.

How can you introduce more surprise into your life as an adult? How can you renew your sense of childlike wonder?"

Yeah... that sounds pretty good too.

That's all (Saul Goodman) for today.
