“The possibility of stepping into a higher plane is quite real for everyone. It requires no force or effort or sacrifice. It involves little more than changing our ideas about what is normal.”

~ Deepak Chopra

What is normal? And who decides what normal is? I find myself in the process of finding a new normal, trying to distinguish if what was my normal was really out of habit.

Devastated when you are forced to make changes in those habits, but maybe a new normal is good. It opens your eyes to new things, new ideas, and allows you to see the old things in new ways.

A new normal doesn’t have to mean a new journey. It’s about keeping your eyes and heart open to all of the possibilities. There’s always a chance that the new normal might change, and even a chance that the old normal is just waiting for you to find it again, maybe just in a new way.
