Sometimes it’s the little things that get me. I read Dave Troy’s most recent blog post, and didn’t really think much of it, other than that it is a bummer that I live in a neighborhood completely unfriendly to bikes, and that TEDx MidAtlantic was amazing and I want another one. Half an hour later I was getting a fork out of the silverware drawer and it hit me: my life lacks intensity, focus, and purpose.
Of course, it hasn’t always been this way, and that is good. But, I have been coasting longer than necessary, and I think it is time to assess where I am, and either hit the brakes or hit the gas.
I am not looking for a new career, or to write a novel, or really anything quantifiable. It is more that I don’t have much drive about how life is going to be so that all of that other stuff can show up as the result. This is where I usually start complaining about the fact that no one gets me, and I need to find a community of like-minded people and blah blah blah. The world is still lonely sometimes, but I am getting better about seeking out people who do good things for my heart and mind. I have come a long way in the past year. Still, sometimes it would be nice if it were a little easier, if some one would just figure it out for me. Just in case anyone has figured it out for me, I’ll ask: What am I missing? What is the next chapter?
Know thyself. Listen to your heart, and follow your gut.
Ah, thank you for the reminder, very grounding. Much love.
Stay in the moment. You’re right where you’re supposed to be. Er, were.
I have the same thoughts whenever I’m not completely wrapped up in something. They tend to continue until I get wrapped up in something.
Wow. Deja vu. Just now.
