Cobwebs in my soul

# Chapter 116

People are trying to understand themselves, find themselves, get in touch with themselves and feel. I get it, but I am not sure it is healthy. Oh we need to feel our feelings and emotions and that whole spectrum, its what makes us human after all. But I am not at all sure that letting that side of us drive our decisions and our directions in life, is healthy or optimal. Nor are “healthy and optimal” friends or close associates either - they can be bitter enemies. What is optimal for your life maybe be far from the healthy thing in your life, and vice versa.

Instead of being driven and channeled up and down certain paths by my volatile and mysterious emotions, or by my situations, or by my circumstances, lets create our path, lets make our direction intentional, lets do what is needed to get us moving in the desired direction. Yes that is a create, make, do action point. In other words, decide and take action or someone else will. No matter what you are, where you are, where you have been, what will become of you, there are points along the way where you have power and influence on the direction things are moving. You may not have as much power and influence as you want, but maybe you do, either way, exert what you have when you have it and stop this inner inspection of the cobwebs of your soul all the time. Some of the time is fine, but all or the majority of the time is paralyzing. Instead, create, make and do your way into the life you want to live. Let’s change the world!
