Quick Thoughts

I'm taking 5 minutes to write down some thoughts in a very very hectic morning.

Bill Harris is absolutely correct in that link I provided below.

Chaos and Reorganization come together.

My life for the last week has been extremely chaotic, full of joy and sorrow - see Gibran.

I've been struggling with it because I've implemented so many changes that my current framework couldn't deal with.  As Bill says, "[Chaos or stress are] happening not because of something outside of you, but because your threshold for what you can handle is too low to handle your current environment."

His action steps were to remind myself that this is a good thing, and it means I'm about to evolve to the next level, where many of the current problems will disappear.  Let it be okay that this is happening.  Watch with curiosity and don't resist.

I've been resisting.  A LOT.  My old framework/world view has been clinging on tenaciously, and it has brought many lows to me this past week.  I am currently moving through patterns that my old framework created, which is why this morning is so hectic.

However, I relaxed and tried to accept it.  And my mental outlook improved tremendously.  What had seemed like a trapped, fixed situation now seems open and filled with possible solutions.  When I have more time I'll write some of them down.  Suffice it to say that change is coming, both for myself and for this blog, and I need to learn to embrace it rather than fight it.

Now I have to go face the daily struggles that my previous framework created.  It is always hard facing the results of actions you are not proud of, but now I can face it without fear, with maturity, acceptance, and hope and promise in my heart.
