Musings

There’s only so many excuses we can make for inaction.  And then we get punished with lack of options—too little, too late.

Personally, I prefer being punished for naivete or ignorance when I try my best to actualize my dreams.  At least I tried, and I probably learned something valuable along the way.

  1. Me: There’s a Proverb (24:27) which suggests to prepare your work outside and make it ready in the Field. Afterward, then build your house.

    I’ve found that I tend to punish myself for inaction at times (like right now for example – except to see how far down the page your Musings go). But then I remember that I’ve already done so much preparation for future work in my Field, and that gives me the peace of knowing I have options. My present inaction may be just a segue – a luxurious moment to reflect on which of those options to exercise next in the most optimum way.

    I’ll stop punishing myself now. Thank you for bringing that to my attention.

    • I wrote that when I was much less forgiving of myself, now I try to emphasize to myself that I’m worthy and deserving, which may translate into action or inaction. I’ve driven myself into the ground forcing myself into action, action, action, only to ask at a certain point what is all this action for? Why make contingencies on contingencies and stay in a low-key state of paranoia where I’m always guarding against an imaginary shoe that may never drop? I understand the pitfalls of the opposite, where I keep procrastinating, but I think abiding in the sense that I’m worth it, that I’m here to enjoy things as they unfold, is the best path for me now. I think you’re on the same page or similar–whatever you decide to do, to luxuriate in rest or action, you deserve to be fulfilled and engaged! You are worth it and definitely don’t need to punish yourself!

      • I’m a believer that existence at its heart is positive by default. So sometimes, if I’m too negative, I just focus on being present (meditative or empty), or asking for help with true surrender. That internal neutrality, imo, allows the default positivity of existence to step back in. Don’t know if that will help, but it’s definitely what I gravitate to…
