Avoid Life's Pretty Wallpaper And Get Dirty

By Evan Sanders


Madness exists in all real things.

If there wasn't any amount of uncertainty in this life, everything would lack depth. Without a sense of depth everything is going to be a surface level examination of what's actually going on. If you stay on the surface, you aren't going to dive into the depths of your soul and find out what you are truly made of. There's a tendency these days to completely avoid going into ourselves to discover what is possible and to stay on the surface where everything is quick and easy. While convenient, this isn't where the magic lives. The magic is in living in the place where you can take a leap of faith and build your wings on the way down.

What if doubt crawls in? Embrace it.

When you consider it, we reside in a world completely full of chaos. Everything is going 1,000,000 miles a hour. Things are constantly falling apart and colliding together. It's a miracle that we are even able to function with everything happening around us. Some find their way early and others spend their entire lives searching for some type of deep meaning that will give them direction. We seek out direction, wisdom, and consume massive amounts of information to help us try to find some sense in of all this. This uncertainty can seduce us into trying to digest surface level pseudo-spirituality in order to help us understand ourselves. But without understanding context and avoiding diving into the depths we set ourselves up for disaster.

If we try to live on the surface however, we are essentially trying to build our foundations out of wallpaper.

When it all boils down to it, keeping your life on the surface level is not going to cut it when you want to do some serious development. If you really want to make some serious changes, you have to get down into the dirty and pick the weeds out yourself. Life isn't always pretty. In fact, life can be incredibly dirty and murky at times. But if you don't do the work that's necessary to heal it will always be that way for you. There will always be dark colors running through your heart.

Give up thinking that you know everything and be constantly surpassed by what life has to offer you. Instead of presuming what the future is going to offer, let it do its thing and you will not be let down one bit. Dive into experiencing life at a foundational level and open yourself up to experiencing everything that it has to offer and you will find the true madness and excitement in all real things.

But you have to do the dirty work at the foundational level first.

So it's time to go to work. It's time to focus more on building the strong foundation and support structure of your life instead of focusing on the outer layers. Sure it's easier to focus on those outer layers because it's cheaper. But if you really want to make some changes, you have to start at your core.

What is life without risk? Just surviving.
