Like the Mother who lived in the shoe and had so many kids and didn't know what to do...
There are so many things for me to do, that I cannot image getting bored for a long time. I did wake up this morning not overwhelmed, but somewhat relieved that I did not have to do everything at once. Perhaps my wife helped me by helping me by simply saying, well this is first, that is second and we can focus on the third. I need that once in a while.
I must admit I can easily relate to the old woman who lived in a shoe and had so many children that she didn't know what to do. And my kids are all these customers who represent the computer scenarios I'm working on. I'm slowly learning that these problems that I see are not mine to bear but to mine communicate. For I can see what many of my customers can't see many of them, so if it's to be, it's up to me, to communicate these things.
The challenge is, that I can only do this in serial mode - one thing at a time. Which is why I need to be like the boy running up the tree, as focussed as possible, but not to the point where I feel burdened down by others comments and distractions. That's why it's so important to be with... the people that lift up and inspire. Not in a selfish way, but in a spirit of common grounded-ness. That's the Common Place theme I am looking for.
Seems like so many people are so much into sharing their baggage, probably un-knowingly. Before I can help anyone else, I need to learn to help myself. that's where it starts. So that's when I offer more of my services, when I'm self-enabled. Come on Self. It's time to go... for another adventure in life.
My thought for today is this - "Time is the coin of your life. It is the only coin you have, and only you can determine how it will be spent. Be careful lest you let other people spend it for you."~ Carl Sandburg.
