Last night I laid out my plans for today. By golly, I was determined that it would be a productive day. I simply have lots to get accomplished, and today was going to be it.
The plan: get up at 5:10 am, go to 5:30 Jazzercise, eat a healthy breakfast, and then get going!
Why then do these voices in my head talk to me about my friend’s assessment of me, “You are always in such a frenzy. You don’t allow. You don’t allow things to happen.”
And why do these voices in my head remind me of last week’s message from www.tut.com?
“Rosie, I think you’re amazing. I think your approach to life is dead-on. And I can’t think of anything you’ve ever done that I wouldn’t have done had I been in your shoes.
Still, beloved, I think we could have a little chat about visualizing more often. Seeing the end result in all its glorious detail, bypassing the cursed-hows, and feeling the emotions you expect to feel.
Hey, it’s my life too.
Tallyho,
The Universe
Yeah, Rosie, nothing you’ve ever done….”
Why is it that when I looked at the tut.com message for this morning, I get the following message?
“Of all the things that matter, Rosie, that really and truly matter, working more efficiently and getting more done is not among them.
Chill,
The Universe
And, quite accidentally, Rosie, such an appreciation leads to greater efficiency and more productivity. Not that that really matters.”
Pushing, pushing, pushing to get things accomplished. Maybe that’s not the answer? And what are you pushing? Are you doing what you truly love? Or are you focused on making a living, paying the bills?
Is fear pushing you forward, driving you toward more efficiency? Are you loving the living you are creating? Do you love what you are working on, working on so efficiently, getting more done? If not, what would it look like to do what you love?
Is it time to pause the frenzy train long enough to catch a glimpse of what allowing might bring?
