Two Weeks of Chaos

Chaos

The last couple of weeks have taken the wind out of my sails. As usual, as I begin to get everything lined up for success, chaos ensues. It is difficult, disheartening, and depressing. Overall, life is good, but then things just keep falling apart in unexpected and painful ways.

There is no time better to regroup than when all seems lost. There is a lot on my agenda and I plan to see it through. I will reset my attitude, revisit my goals, and make a plan because that’s what I do. That is what I always do.

In the swirling chaos are a few solid, positive foundations on which to build. Reach out and grab them. Tuck them in close and run for the goal line. Other people will try to block, grapple, and tackle, but keep pushing. Make them desperate to pull you down. They only matter because their negativity helps you focus on what needs to be done, adding urgency to your personal mission.

Right now, as I type this, it is little more than words. Churning up the energy to make those letters dance into action is an uphill battle. Somewhere at the top of that hill is a pixelated gorilla with a never-ending stack of flaming barrels waiting to knock me down.

If I seem a bit scatter-brained, well, that’s the chaos speaking. My thoughts are all over the board. It has been difficult to settle into a pattern. For a creature of habit, that can be either destructive or inspire creativity. So, like a character stuck in the hero’s journey, I am facing challenges en route to a revelation that will trigger a transformation.

The important piece of the puzzle is that I keep pressing forward. I can see the horizon and will continue walking towards it.
