The Better

So I’ve been sick all week. Fever, chills, congestion, fatigue, the works.

And I find myself, in-between long naps, wondering “When will this be over? When will I be better?”

Unable to even remember what “better” felt like. Because I’m so engrossed in my present situation. Because days ago, I know I was fine. I know I was better.

Yet now I can’t even remember what that felt like. All I know is this. This sickness.

But I think it’s important to remind myself that I was better. And that I’m getting better. And that I will be better again.

I may not feel that way now, but I know it will come.

For we don’t know when we’re in the better until we’re out of it.

So I think, instead of waiting around for the better to come and go, we should always be progressing towards being better.

Even when we’re feeling fine, do more to feel better.

Even when we’re content, do more to be better.

Even when we feel like life can’t possibly get any better,

Pursue the better.

Because it’s not about better being enough.

It’s about you making the most of

The Better
