Today I am considering my need to put boundaries around the things I truly need to focus on. I have been guided to a few projects and these are the ones I need to give my time and energy to and yet it seems so easy to get distracted by others and their need for my input – at least they think they need it. Truly everyone is much more capable than they believe. Last year I wrote ‘Just say NO!’ on every day of my calendar for a whole month and that worked. Now, with the COVID isolation, it seems too easy to just let things drift.
We are in a time when we need to really lean into what is ours to do, to sort out the things that are not important or not ours and to be persistent in tending to the things that do matter. If enough of us do this, we will begin to sense something beautiful coming forth, the birthing of something totally new. May we commit to doing what is ours to do. And so it is!
