As I read through some of my past blogs I am reminded of how many strands of spaghetti have stuck (information, ideas and opportunities collected and absorbed). Yes, some of those strands are sliding downward. Maybe its to make room for more or maybe a purpose was served at the time and they are no longer needed in this moment.
There are also the strands that haven't been given the attention they deserve. I believe this is partially due to feeling like a human spaghetti magnet. I am an information gatherer, a deep thinker, a sponge and at times a squirrel running around in circles. With so many strands sticking, bouncing off or sliding down it is difficult to manage and fully absorb all of them.
I've written and blogged about doing or implementing this or that into my life and my kung fu, and then life happens and some of the stuck spaghetti starts to slide down. Some spaghetti sticks hard and fast and is easy to absorb and implement, others not so much. Any of those under-utilized strands are still there in my tool box though. And I believe they will be put to use at the right time or possibly even replicated into something that serves me better. I just need to trust and do the work in the meantime.
What's interesting is I'm feeling more and more calm and at peace, which is creating a wonderful flow and openness to my life. I'm less concerned about that which isn't getting done. Stress and anxiety still creep in at times, but I find myself more aware and better prepared to work through stuff. I know there's always going to be plenty of things to work on and improve on and I've proven to myself that I can push myself and put in the effort. I'm finding it easier to embrace the journey and am less worried about the destination.
My past blogs are a great reminder of struggles and achievements, my trajectory, my insights and personal growth over the year. They help to ground me and remind me of all the past and present stands of spaghetti in my tool box.
