Yesterday while walking Zyan alongside Artesia Blvd, I entered into a dream like state as I allowed all the thoughts in my head to crash inside skull like waves, each thought there for a moment, and then receding while another took over. It hit me that there were so many missed opportunities in my work that needed my attention. I declared a lot of things in order to create a solid financial future for my family, yet there was so much low hanging fruit that had not been touched.
With each step came more things to take care of, but not in a worrisome way, as if with the walk came a clarity for how to make it happen. My weighted vest felt light, and as Zyan bobbed his head to the music playing near him, in my head, a list began to form. Declarations are well and good, but without focus and action, they remain unreachable visions in my head. The key is not to make so many declarations that they become overwhelming and disheartening, but they also need to be just beyond my reach to force me to grow and learn.
The walk energized me further. The sky overhead, the buildings nearby, the distant muffled conversations all merged into a singular path forward. Too often, I don’t allow myself the luxury of just letting the mind loose. I get caught up in fear rather than flow even though the latter is what serves me best. Yesterday’s walk became a great reminder of that.
Happy Monday!
