I forgot my phone in my office one-day last week. As I went about the day, I didn't realize that my phone wasn't nearby until I returned to the office 6 hours later. I had a very productive day! It wasn't tethered to something that keeps demanding attention. The world didn't fall apart and I was able to accomplish so much. Maybe we need to log off and be a bit inaccessible sometimes to recenter ourselves and remember we are human beings, not human doings. Just a thought.

Moving forward would be so much easier if the path was straight and smooth. However, we know that in reality, forward movement in many aspects of life and business will mean that there are some dips and curves broken up with a few mountaintop experiences. Everyone wants the highs and dreads the lows. We experience the confusion of the twist and the frustration of the turns. We want a linear experience, where we can see the end from where we are currently standing. We want a clear vision without obstacles to our view. All the danger needs to be clearly outlined and the distance from where we are to where we want to be is measurable so we can plan accordingly. That however is rarely what we experience. So for my fellow travelers who are moving forward bravely, but with some degree of uncertainty on this road with all its highs, lows, dips, and peaks, I want to encourage you to just enjoy the journey. If you can find some fellow sojourners to walk with you, it will be even more enjoyable because progress is not linear. Check out the "Balancing Act" space if you are serious about taking the journey forward with others who can support you as you build your business or career. |
