Heeeeelllllllllooooo!
As the old saying goes: This is where the rubber hits the road.
My old breathwork teacher Jim Morningstar often says: Nothing is more powerful than a good excuse.
I know! I know! I know!
It seems like I’m not making excuses cuz I keep putting myself out there.
BUT BUT BUT
I’ve been living in chaos instead of “order.” Huh?
I’ve been running to things instead of preparing for them. This is quite intoxicating. How so? I can use that as an excuse for why I’m not doing as well as “expected.”
What is this expected part?
I don’t actually know if truth be told. So? It’s this nebulous thing with the power to mean both everything and nothing at the same time.
Yes. As I don’t know what to expect for some things??? It’s setting me up to fail if I try to nail myself to guaranteed results. But going the other extreme of not preparing at all? Not good either.
Yup. I’m working on striking that balance of preparation with breathing room. And no matter the outcome? Living with the consequences rather than attempting to explain them away. Since the world has never ended when I have made a mistake? I know that everything will eventually work out.
A cool part of my endless mistakes and putting myself out there? I’m building on an invaluable skill set from my short film making days: Being able to think on the fly. Cuz? There’s really something to be said about being able to make do with what you got. And dudes? With a little more forethought? I’ll be able to do a whole heck of a lot more than I do now.
About my excuses of not being prepared? Served their purpose. Now? I’ll let them retire instead of having me retire. đ
AND??? I love how the shadows fall on the picture to make it look like my figure is in a shadow prison. Why yes… That’s EXACTLY what excuses are.
Can you relate?
As always: Have a glamorous day for fun!!
Brilliant insight, truly. S
