Focus

Don’t rush anything. Projects are good, goals are good, there doesn’t always have to be a deadline. Certain things demand one, if not, don’t. We are building a closet. Made the design, dimensions, materials and go. The frame is roughed, and the vision was started. Life of course happens and it is functional but incomplete. Now that time has passed, we can see the issues with some practical things. Bam! we can move forward with new and improved and when it’s done, it will be perfect!

Life is very much the same, having a big issue with change, apply this strategy as well. Take little bites, try it on for size, tweak it and move forward. For stubborn people like myself, it works. My husband will present ideas to me all the time, me being rigid, my go to is no. For one, I can’t see what he is saying, I need time to process. I tried a personal experiment where I automatically said yes first. It was really hard! It was life changing. It was uncomfortable. I was overbooked with things, but I did have a lot of fun.

I don’t recommend going from one extreme to the other, but finding balance is key. The world will not stop spinning because you can not predict the outcome. You can not control everything, that is one I have to drill into my head! The predictable life is not the name of the show! Life happens anyway. It ends the same for everyone.

Choose wisely, and don’t get discouraged if it doesn’t work out. There is no rule saying that you can’t change the plan. You are the driver of your own life. You hold the reigns, lean left, lean right, pull to stop. Maybe drop the reigns, put the pedal to the metal, hell pull the emergency break and swing er around!
