Tough Questions

Vancouver Airport – Power Outage – May 23, 2014

Navigating through the dark… it’s very tempting to go back to one’s comfort zone and maintain the status quo.  Personally, I’m not a big fan of going through life on automatic pilot.  I’ve done it before and I’m here again.  For me, I feel like I’m just trying to catch up to my “things to do list” with little or no time to reflect, digest, or synthesize.  This leads to some frustration, avoidance, and lack of inspiration.  To move forward, I need to answer some tough questions.  I am reminded by a blog entry I wrote last summer titled “Unfinished Conversations.”  I’ve deleted that blog entry months ago.  Apparently, I was not prepared to have these conversations.  Now, I realize that these conversations were not ones I needed to have with others, but they were ones I needed to have with myself.  By going through life avoiding… with little opportunity to critique, understand, or question… I think I will remain in the dark.  Am I scared?  Absolutely.  Am I prepared to do the same thing over and over again?  No, I am not.  #change
