Too Random for Goals

How often do you say “no” to things that would interfere with your goals?

I don’t like blaming things on my sun sign as it’s a lot more complex than that, but in truth I am a Gemini butterfly. Interested in something one moment, another idea pops in and I’m immediately equally intrigued by something else.

This is not a good thing. It means unfinished plays, books, and a surprising number of short stories left gathering dust on a computer. I am currently dusting one off.

In honesty acute anxiety played a large part in this, trying to maintain your sanity is exhausting. But I also got diverted into Spiritual Work when I realised that I was a psychic medium. Had some training and then tried it as a career.

I did that because I wanted to focus my time on something I care about, and I care about the effects of grief on people, how they’re feeling, and if I can help them find a way forward.

The work is anything but fluffy and woke, there is a real commitment to being helpful. Nevertheless it was a diversion that maybe I shouldn’t have taken, and yet I learned a lot.

From taking diversions I learned where I truly belong. My groups are focused on everyday life and feeling the best we can whilst navigating it. We do that in a rather different way to the norm, but it’s still completely practical.

However, I am a writer. That’s what I should always have said yes to first. I still do spiritual work and always will. It’s who I am not what I do.

So there it is, not so much what I should have said no to, as what I should have said yes to.

How you use yes is way more important than how you use no.

Love to everyone, everywhere.
