Sprints

# Chapter 296

When you are hoping to get to that special place of quiet and peacefulness, and instead discover that you are entirely too popular and desirable, and get overwhelmed with all the negotiations for your time, be patient, this too will pass. Just bite the bullet for 4-5 days and then things will settle down, and you might still find that special quiet and peacefulness you were hoping for and expecting to find here. Nobody can be more surprised about this more than me. I have been digging into the introvert hermit thing so long, that I am really caught off guard when I am forced to put my extrovert mask on and go to work. I can do this, you can do this, it may not be what we were wanting or expecting necessarily, but we can go with the flow - and the flow of the moment is to grab a slice of your time and eat on your dime, and socialize it up. All these are important human relationship interaction steps and there is no need to resist them. Yes there are other things you could be doing, perhaps even want to do, but they will wait, while you catch up with real live actual people.

Its ok to smile about that, because if you know me then you know that I generally avoid real live people. Real live people are stressful and difficult and stretching and entirely overwhelming and that is ok too. You can do anything for short sprints. And that is what this is, a sprint. Lots of little sprints, and then you have a marathon. And link together some marathons and you have a life. This one is yours. Live it well.
