Change is both inevitable and constant. I’m not saying anything new here… experience will tell us that. Sometimes it is a slight shift and at others it will involve something more dramatic. Though most give lip service to the “change is constant/good/”, etc… few really deal with it with any kind of grace. More often than not we will only go kicking and screaming into this “disaster” simply because we are creatures of habit… even the more destructive ones that will eventually drown us.
It could come from an external source. Anything from restaurant serving times to the re-tooling of our favorite social networking sites – things that are well beyond our control. Though, more often than not it spawns from within which directly affects our personal lives. (Yes, Bobby… we continue to grow and learn throughout our lives.) The trick is knowing when to to adjust and make the shift.
Knowing when the party is winding down so we can make a graceful exit into a new day… is precisely where I stand at the moment. I’ve been aware of this for a while now. The issue here (OK, perhaps “issue” may be too dramatic of a word) is figuring out what this “new day” actually is.
No, it’s not keeping me up nights but is constantly hovering at the back of my mind. This I do know… not making a move will doom me to a stagnant mediocre existence. (I’ve always been deathly afraid of that.) Still, any rash moves are to be avoided as they will only be a distraction and cause confusion. This I do know… whatever the “new day” may be I want to engage it with passion and purpose. Those are my only conditions.
So, if you wondered where my head space is at (not that you asked) but now you know.
