When our vision is focused on the day-to-day, it can be easy to forget that the patches of each 24 hour period are linked, and together, they create a life. This realization came to me with the subtlety of a sledgehammer the other night when I realized that what I had passed off as a “negative phase” had actually become a significant part of my life. Wow, talk about a wake up call.
If there is anything that will motivate you (or me, at least) it’s realizing that you’ve set a pattern on repeat and are just “killing time.”
I once read that we all go through a significant change and time of reflection every 6-7 years (hence, the Seven Year Itch) and it certainly feels as though I am going through mine. It’s a lovely and tranquil period of sorting, evaluating and re-introduction to myself. To be “set in our ways” means to be stuck and I don’t want to be grounded in cement while the world (my life) passes me by.
Do you?
