Naps....(esoteric post...just a warning ;))
I should be asleep, but that's what an impromptu nap during the middle of the day will do for you. It was my day off, so oh well. I meant to get some marketing work done, but instead, I got all the laundry done (don't even ask how much that is in our house) and some workouts in, plus a nap...and then a training session for clients, so, not really a whole day off.
I'm in a learning cycle right now rather than a writing cycle. It happens. I'd love to be editing or writing, but between building a business, getting back to my health, and learning a few things to keep the household moving forward as it should, the writing is taking a hiatus while I learn some new math.
It's slow going. It is math after all. Or perhaps more of trend analysis and statistics LOL. But, it is going to be totally worthwhile, when I can wrap my brain around it :) See, I said when, not if. *winks*
Which leads me to my next ...well, thought.
We had a unique day here with pup, and discussions...and just, beyond. I have come to the decision that there are two types of people in the world. Victims, those that allow life to happen to them and let the past and/or drama BE their lives - they define themselves by their past and allow it to consume them. This is not bad...it is just not...it's a hard viewpoint to learn from. And then, there are those...I'm having a hard time finding the word. It's not survivors. Surviving to me somehow still means you're allowing your past to define who you are and you're pushing the limits...does that make sense?
Perhaps you guys have a good term...I liken it to describing (my description) the difference between 'goth' and 'industrial' - one says the world owes them, the other says, 'f-it, I own the world.' - It is in essence all about attitude. These others, rather than survivors as the term just doesn't fit, as I'll call them. They take their past, they evolve. They learn, they adapt, they change, they move forward. They acknowledge all that has passed...and just... move forward. It's a lesson, it's life. It is movement. There is no animosity to the past, just acceptance and acknowledgment. Do you want to repeat it? No, not necessarily, but these others at least realize that it is what is was and it was a lesson, and they wouldn't be where they are today without it. Or perhaps they would, but with different lessons in it's place. I'm sure this is cyclic and confusing *smiles* but, no one ever said I had to make sense all the time.
Perhaps this post was just a reminder for myself...as such, I am reminded. I honor my past, I honor the lessons from wherever they came from. I'm thankful for each and every one of them...happy or sad, painful or not...they have helped define who and what I am. I may not be happy with the lessons, but, they taught me, and as such, I honor the lesson. As for me, in all that I do, and all that I am, I prove nothing to no one except myself...and perhaps the little one who follows in Cat's and my footsteps :)
I do love Leonardo's ideal...."I am limitless."
May you find yourself beyond your limits this year...it's a wonderful place to be. Push it. Go where you don't dare to go. You might surprise yourself. *smiles*
Namaste
