Do you ever stop and wonder what's happening around you, and why?
Why sometimes you're motivated and loud and other times, inward and quiet? Why some opportunities arise and others flop? The reason you land that cool gig or make a new connection or take that risk?
I don't know the answers, but I've certainly been doing a lot of wondering.
Just in the last month, I've sat on decisions (to my own frustration), simply because I wasn't in the right mind space to decide. It's bitten me at times, too. Or, conversely, I've jumped and taken leaps of faith because they felt right to me. This has been an interesting waltz for me; it's not a feeling I'm used to -- feeling fluid and almost unchained.
Many will say, "Everything Happens For a Reason", and to a certain extent, I agree. But I also think this statement is of little consolation to people (and friends) who are going through particularly rough times, whether it be the loss of a spouse, a friend, a child, a new diagnosis, etc. I can't explain why good people are suffering. To me, that's just not fair.
This is not a sad post -- quite the opposite. It's an a-ha post, a position of clarity, reflection and space. I'm choosing to take the time (for myself) to try and listen more to my own instincts, my gut, my universe -- whatever you want to call it. There's a bit of freedom from being silent on social media, or watching from the wings, to use a dance analogy.
It's a fascinating perspective, taking a step back and seeing what unfolds before your eyes.
What do you wonder?
