To keep moving forward effectively then I must keep finding the graceful balances between:
being proactive and being responsive
pushing the round boulder up the hill and riding the raft down the river
knowing what the next graceful step is and sorting through the too-many alternatives
soaring along on the currents of wind like a hawk and chopping down trees like a beaver
like a man in an overcoat leaning into the wind and a girl chasing butterflies in a meadow
playing on the seesaw of life and feeling overwhelmed by the junky clutter of my life
going with the flow in the Creativity Zone and doing boring housework yet again
longing to spend much more time with a few close friends and enduring acquaintances
chattering about shallow trivia to pass the time and seeking enriching dialogues
learning yet more about how to improve my life and just living with the familiar mess
searching for greater spiritual growth and putting out the fires of worldly problems
inviting the muse to come out to create more and coping with the trivial details of life
letting my heart dance with my mind as I write and caring for my body so I can dance again
sticking with those teachers I like most and seeking some more teachers too
carry on like a dutiful soldier and internally caving into the impossible odds of winning big
feeling content with all the techie tools I have and wanting to add some more to the collection
being goal oriented and adapting to the shifts as prompted by my intuition
perceiving missed deadlines as a bad thing and learning to make suitable future adjustments
finish the many books/ebooks I started and get yet another one that promises much
marking up books as I read them and rarely going back to review those books or markings
having specific tasks to do each day/week and going with reality as it unfolds each moment
swimming upstream against the distractions and stopping to smell the roses
plugging away like a faithful worker bee and strategizing like a wise CEO
putting in the time needed to tick off the needed tasks and stopping to rest along the way
getting things done to the best of my abilities and making taking a vacation a high priority
operating from my familiar skill set and learning yet another skill
knowing I could die any day in an auto wreck and pacing myself to live to a ripe old age
staying comfy in my Comfort Zones and again moving tentatively into new territory
digging the ditch that is right in front of me and looking at the landscape from high above
slowly studying new material while pondering each bit and skimming to get a few ideas
using patience with perseverance to plod along and knowing when to let go in order to pivot
addressing short-term goals and developing resources for long-term goals
applying current systems and creating new systems
fishing for neat new videos on Youtube and sticking to structured studies I have begun
relaxing and enjoying my life and keep moving forward with my purpose
keeping up with the many reports of current events and working on my personal development
choosing to dig into just one well very deeply and going to many possible wells that appeal
it is not either-or but both-and while in harmony and suited to the needs of the moment
