I’m betwixt and between, contemplating two extremes; yet suspecting the truth lays somewhere in the middle. I suspect the answer is both/and.  I’m talking about dreams and goals. Do we think them, define them, build plans and go after them? Or do we acknowledge them, accept them and then watch as they unfold before us?  I think the answer is yes. Yes to both questions.

I’ve done both. I’ve experienced success with both. Surely they must interplay somehow. Lately I’ve been putting lots of energy into making a plan and then working it; working it hard. Pushing. Struggling. Exhausting myself. Today I have the sense that it is time to rest. To trust, to believe, to give room for the dream to unfold. To believe that it doesn’t depend on me being so busy.

That’s the idea that I am contemplating this week. I feel energized by it already, and I look forward to learning. Let me know if you have any insights with it. Thanks.
