2020 Vision

“People become really quite remarkable when they start thinking that they can do things. When they believe in themselves they have the first secret of success.”

Norman Vincent Peale

My inbox has been filled with emails encouraging me to set new BHAGS for 2020. BHAGS..............Big Hairy Audacious Goals.Not just those New Year's resolutions that people make and then fail o follow up on,but the well thought out plan for making a better life.Lose weight,exercise, get a new job,take a big vacation,save more money, go back to school,volunteer at whatever.Do that "thing" that I've been putting off forever.

None of this seems to pertain to me. As a matter of fact, I find myself doing little more than treading water at this point in time and for now, that feels like enough.I'm not saying this feels good or is particularly productive in any way shape or form. I just know that starting a new project of any sort, just for the sake of doing something, would be a monumental waste of time and energy.A few weeks ago I put something in motion. Like planting any crop, there is a period of time when all you can do is step aside and wait. Wait until that planting sprouts ,at which point you can nurture it. In the meantime, all you can do is go about your daily chores.And wait!

Planting something else would be counterproductive. So would walking away. Instead,I just grind through my daily routine until such time as I can see exactly what it is I planted and what I can do with it now that I have identified it. So for now, my 2020 vision is fairly nearsighted. Handle what's on my plate and wait.

BHAGS?

Well maybe later,just not right now

And for the time being I am more than okay with that.
