It’s been two months since i last checked in on my journey, and man i feel awful about it.
For me, writing is a meditative practice. it allows me to reflect on my life, take stock on what I’ve learned, and share my experiences with you. Failing to keep up with it creates a disconnect with myself, my emotions, and with you. And i’m sorry for the radio silence.
Truth be told, the last couple months have been incredibly challenging. As it is, i am constantly on the go chasing my dreams and a life of adventure while trying to balance my responsibilities in life and work. And on top of all this, I also tried to create a new startup, write my next book, revitalize my non-profit, and maintain some semblance of life.
Needless to say, I failed to juggle it all effectively.
And when you fail to juggle things effectively, balls will drop and everything will eventually start to crash around you. And for me, it did. Work overwhelmed me, mistakes were made, payroll got tight, startups were shelved, projects were pulled, and all of this resulted in no time for reflection or writing.
To sum it all up, i failed.
It’s hard to face your failures, especially ones that you create yourself. Each of us fall short of our expectations at times. And in doing so, we can let ourselves down. And let others down. And it sucks.
For me, there’s just so many things that I want to do, experience, and bring to life and i struggle to find enough time in life to do them all. It’s as if i feel the sands of time slipping through my hourglass, never to return, and so i push too hard to get it all in before the last grain falls.
But, i guess that’s just life.
Each day is another chance to write our story. And it’s best to enjoy the story as it unfolds, and hope that in the end, the tale was a good one.
Perhaps in this chapter I will finally learn that i can’t do it all at once, to finally slow down, and take the time to prioritize. Or perhaps i won’t. But in either case, it’s okay. i’m just excited to turn the page and get back to writing again.
It’s time to get back on the grid.
