Quietitude …

I find myself again perplexed. I hear ghosts of the past not whispering, but shouting at me. Shouting that I didn’t listen before, am I listening now? They’re shouting alarms of concern and generosity with their advice; will I find myself capable of listening this time?

 

What ever the future holds, the past is a marked and known roadmap. The unmarked territory is what must be embraced and discovered. That road map is riddled with land mines and full of terrors that may or may not be realistic. Career changes, changes of pace, changes.

 

Change has always been unnerving, but maybe more so knowing that I’m asking for change and the uncertainty that comes along with it. Apprehension of not knowing what to do next, nor what consequences might arise as a result of choice for change. However, change also affords an opportunity for self-improvement, self-evaluation and reflection to avoid the sins of the past.

 

The sense of opportunity rather than tasking change for the sake of change seems much more appealing. How to nurture one’s own soul to bring about a positive influence on self in addition to others is the challenge I’m looking for I suppose. Maybe I’m looking a career change in the wrong direction. Maybe I’m not looking nearly enough. Maybe I’m not nearly as ready as I thought I was, but how can I not be ready as it seems the precipice has been reached and the time is ripe for harvest.

 

The day is young, I’ve a large portion of it left with which I can ponder, dream, meditate and search my soul. This day shall pose an opportunity for decision and focus. It has a huge potential for quietitude and soul searching; I’ve the time and reasoning… I’ve to take the reigns of life and direct it where my needs are focused now. Today, a new search and thought of career begins; where oh where shall it lead me?

 

 

Just do it

You sure do think alot dude. Fortunately, you do it well. You know what I would do? I tend to get myself all amped up with the excitement of the endless possibilities, then, I just jump in and do it !! But then, I screw up and make mistakes all the time. Of course, Not once, have any of my mistakes ever ripped a hole in the time/ space continuum, or resulted in the end of all life as we know it. I just throw it in reverse, and try again. Do what makes you happy. It’s just life !!!

Susan,

I did rip a hole in the time-space continuum once it and had to take three whole months to fix it. I’ve been more cautious since then! Such incidents prescribe precaution for the future.
