Action!

“What’s next?” is probably the most frequently asked question. We are always on the go and in action.

There is no free time in our overbooked schedules any more. Time to look out of the window, to daydream, or even hug our children…even when they’re about to go to school.

We are stuck on the first letter of the alphabet. A for action! Followed by B for business, C for chores, D for development, E for errands, F for forty winks…25 letters until we finally reach Z for zen.

Our inner journey makes us work through our own alphabet book. Some have reached M for meditation or S for sorry.

Paolo Coelho said: “in life, everything is a sign”. What about V for visible, so you can see the signs all around you?



Counting for nothing

My German background is often my excuse for being a stickler for punctuality. I can’t bear being late, which is often why I’m hanging about waiting to meet someone.

The challenge I have is that I expect the same from other people. When I’m made to wait, I feel as if I’m not respected.

And that’s when I part company with common sense. I start wallowing in self-pity and feel completely miserable. I become inconsolable.

I used to keep these feelings deep inside and they would eat away at me. Now I express myself and say, “I feel as if I count for nothing.”  The great thing is that I’m not sulking any more. I’ve said what was on my mind and it lets the other person give me an explanation I can understand.

Everyone can see where they are then. And I can get on with my life.

What about you? What should you get out of your system so that you can get on with your life?
