One can make as many plans, lists, New Years resolutions, and schedules as they want but real life, in all of its messy glory, will always get in the way. Not sometimes, not occasionally, but always. If you're open, if you have faith and trust, then this isn't necessarily a bad thing. In fact, if your heart is open and ready to receive, you may be amazed to find that the outcome is better than anything you had previously imagined.
A little over a week ago, I was here lamenting things not going the way I had planned. I'd been sick, tired, unmotivated, and disappointed with myself. I allowed myself to roll around in self-pity for a few too many days, which is not living, loving, alive, nor adventurous. It is merely self-indulgent.
Once I snapped out if it and decided to be still and listen, I was presented with a number of creative opportunities that were tremendously gratifying. I have been incredibly busy, met some inspirational people, and had conversations that filled me both spiritually as well as intellectually.
I am grateful for this lesson. May I remember it well the next time the negative voice tries to return.
