Sometimes, things flow so well that it seems the world is molded around you. That was last week for me. Things went to smoothly that I thought wow, I wish life were always this easy. Everything went faster and better than expected, and I was on top of the world. What a difference a week makes. This week, my plans keep getting knocked around like billiards. I’ve actually referred to the past few days as “boom time” because my plans have exploded so much that I’m in a constant state of adjustment and rearranging. Things are getting done, but it’s requiring more work and a lot more grace than last week did.
There are times like that. It’s not just the “flow” of life, either. Sometimes, it’s an internal motivation thing. It’s taken more self discipline to stay focused on my goals and keep doing what I’m supposed to do to keep the forward momentum. You don’t always “feel it,” and have to ignore your feelings and move on regardless. Sometimes, your days are comfortable shoes and rose perfume. Other times, it’s dress clothes and Vicks under your nose. That’s the nature of life. Progress is progress, whether it flows or takes a push to keep the momentum going.
Yes, there are times when it’s hard to keep your crap together, but it can be done. The important thing is not to give up, and to dedicate yourself to seeking opportunity, and doing the best you can today. And, of course, giving thanks: for the flow when it happens, and for grace, mercy, discipline, and motivation when it doesn’t.
This week has been more work, but it’s no loss. In fact, things are still moving along well. They might not have moved as I hoped, and I had to get out and push a bit, but by golly, it’s moving.
That’s all today. Have a Happy Friday tomorrow and a wonderful weekend.
Bye!
