Where have I hidden my ambition?
It must be here somewhere I just can’t seem to find it right now.
Our world is changing.
I am changing. I have changed.
My world is not the same as it once was and it’s difficult to make the adjustments.
A blaring example showed itself this past weekend.
I had gotten a decent night’s sleep and had the day off. The combo felt ideal to get some highly desired items checked off my to do list
I made a new list for the day and tried to decide how it should play out.
Immediately I hit a wall. I had a plan. I had the time. I just couldn’t find the gumption to get up and get started.
The day passed with reasonable progress but it wasn’t nearly the results the old me would have accomplished.
I have heard this from quite a few people lately.
There is a lag in motivation.
There are physical conditions and thus mental and emotional changes going on that have led to adjustments in how we behave.
How we do things is changing.
I am very sure this needs to happen.
But it is an adjustment that is unfamiliar and can be a tad unnerving.
I am ready and willing to give myself permission to allow the change to happen.
I will need to adjust my thought process along with it.
Where we might have once tried to run a marathon now we can be okay with a relaxing stroll in the park.
It feels like that type of shift.
How wonderful to relax and just take a stroll.
Imagine how much more we can benefit from taking time to notice the greenery, the birds song and the wafting floral scents in the air.
The racing cars and the frantic behavior of the world stands out and makes me cringe when I tune back into it.
Ahh goodness me. Why would I want to go back into that fray?
Because I still have a job and it requires interaction with the world.
But that job description has adjusted.
Yes, I still need to work but it no longer needs to be a marathon.
This is part of the adjustment I can make.
I am working on how I perceive things to help smooth the shifting process.
I am not going to work to accomplish things, I am going to work to help people.
I am not going to work to punch the clock, I am going to work to engage with people and enjoy the interaction.
I am going to work to be part of the flow energy that is swirling in and around us.
I am allowing that flow to take me and guide me in the direction I need to go.
I do not need ambition. That is the old way of thinking.
I just need to pay attention to what is happening at the moment.
Yes, I can still have a list. I in fact need one or I would forget what I was doing altogether.
And yes I can still get things done and crossed off the list.
But if one of the changes we are experiencing is in how we do things, I want to integrate that into my life.
We are moving into a different way of being.
And this will take some adjusting.
Part of my challenge is not only giving grace for myself but especially to others.
If I am feeling this, everyone must be going through this as well.
Welcome to the grand shift.
We are in it.
Let’s enjoy the journey!
