Don’t let what you can’t do stop you from doing what you can do.
John Wooden
How many times do you find yourself stuck because you don’t know what direction to go in? I was having a conversation yesterday with someone who feels completely stuck to the point where she is powerless. We have all been here. We are afraid of getting it wrong. We want to do the right thing. We have all stared at our problem hoping for magic to make it disappear. We paralyze ourselves by taking our own expression away. So what do you do when you are in this place? How can you feel powerful? How do you know what direction to go in when you feel confused and indecisive?
When I get to this place and I feel frustrated I know that I am standing in the way of myself. So I tell myself “small steps” Just move in the direction that you think you want to go in, but the key is MOVE! Sitting still and questioning and weighing it out is not good for someone who is stuck. The way you find out what you do want is to discover what you don’t want. The only way to make that happen is by being in action. I am speaking to myself more than anyone out there. I know that this new path of mine is only kept alive if I keep it alive. I too can be extremely hard on myself and forgot constantly what is real for me. We have to build these muscles. We have to work hard to stay present. Only to find that it comes natural once we give into the resistance. When you learn to go with the flow, sounds cliché but it’s so true. When you allow yourself to move downstream and stop fighting what is, then you can have all the gifts of the present. When you allow yourself to be flexible and stop fighting anything and everything, ahhhhh you can have peace and everything will flow to you.
Today I am grateful for my IT business for showing me what I don’t want and giving me many gifts beyond that.
