Struggles in this New Year
Wow!
So here we are blanketed under the big sky embarking on the rather intimidating project of rebuilding the Permibus and Skills Tour.
Ever since the breakdown in Indiana it has seemed to me that more and more work just piles up. This isn’t helped by the fact that the more work that piles up, the more overwhelmed I feel, the more I shirk on my responsibilities and thus the more work that piles up. It is a vicious cycle that I am trying to break out of. Beyond the rebuilding of the Permibus I am also trying to prepare for and take the GED, SAT and ACT as soon as possible.
Whew! Now that I am back in Montana I am excited to get to spend time with my friends in Missoula, hanging out, and LARPing and the like. This of course makes me less focused on my task list however which could end badly if I don’t get stuff done because then I will have no time to be up there at all. And that’s the big kicker that it all comes down to: Time. Our society is based heavily on the concept that time is precious and we don’t have enough of it. This is an attitude that has been holding me hostage for a while now. The more I feel there isn’t enough time to more I use it unproductively the more there are things that have to be done in less time and it all gets so stressful. Ya know what I mean?
I am sorry if this blog is less inspiring and motivated that my usual but I realize that I can’t always pretend everything is easy. When we face our struggles head on with the intent to reshape them into our strengths it is then that we are able to grow as human beings. Not that we will never face those struggles again for often we do, but we can know that it is in ourselves to become more than what we fear. Within the hardship is the knowledge that we are walking in the power to create and be the beautiful; to be the change we wish to see in the world and thus to inspire that change in others.
I don’t yet know if I will be able to get everything done without more consequences but I do know that if I don’t find it in myself to try then there will be a hallow ring to the life I believe in. So I will put myself into the struggle and by the power in which I walk I will reshape it and it will be my strength.
I hope you are all doing well and remember that you are walking in power.
