Driving in circles

Today has been a 'bad' day...in terms of getting stuff done.

In terms of enjoying life, it's been a good day - I watched a movie, walked the dog, had a nice shower, talked to a friend, had a long lunch, wrote a little bit, answered some e-mails, looked up some flights, played the cashflow game...and so on.

Sometimes you don't have to drive to get somewhere. Sometimes you can just drive for the love of driving. That's success too.

Remember to enjoy the journey on the way to your destination.

Too much Drive, too little Care

My poor little bulldozer is shattered today. I have been driving her hard for months and months...and the strain is starting to tell. It's time to pause, regroup, relax and take a bit of care of that bulldozer, so she can keep going for miles and miles. I don't want her breaking down!

Are you driving too hard?

Idling Along

It's been a while since my bulldozer 'spoke'. Over the past 3 months or so, my bulldozer has been idling along. Moving, but not with purpose. Moving, but not consciously. Moving.

You know when sometimes you don't even realise what's changed because it's not enormously dramatic and life changing? But here I am, months along the line, having moved unconsciously. It's great that my bulldozer knows me so well that she just keeps moving, even when I am not really 'at the controls'.

And now I'm starting to wake up and see where I'm driving again, ready to become a conscious driver...and noticing that life moved along quite nicely without my interference. I wonder if I could become conscious and be a gentle driver of my bulldozer...or will I go back to my aggressive driving style and keep crashing again?

Perhaps gentler would be quicker?
