Sometimes I wonder about myself. One day, I am bulldozing away cheerfully, the next, crashing into a wall and wandering round in a daze. I have been feeling out of sorts all day today, don't know what to do with myself, can't see the way forward, completely focusing on where I don't want to go! D'oh.
So when I thought about putting this in the 'bulldozer' metaphor I realised that I had left the comfort of the 'dozer, and was climbing up a sheer cliff. My fingers were bleeding, I was exhausted and disillusioned, the top of the cliff seemed as if it was a thousand miles away, and my poor trembling muscles couldn't take it and I slipped, falling down the cliff and grazing my face.
Lesson 1 - don't try to do it the hard way! I'm sure if I go left a bit or right a bit, I'll find a way to get that bulldozer up the cliff.
Lesson 2 - don't try to do the difficult stuff alone! There are people out there who can and will happily help, let them.
Lesson 3 - sometimes sitting still to make an informed decision is wiser than rushing on ahead without a moment of forethought! (a radical idea for me!)
All I really needed to shift my thinking was a bit of encouragement...and I got it today from Heather. Thank you Heather, your input has made more difference than I could ever articulate!
