Barbarians at the Emotional Gate

Does it sometimes feel like barbarians pounding relentlessly at your emotional gates?  Challenges abound as do opportunities.  Accept the assignment.  Turn that challenge into an opportunity. Nobody’s going to handle it for you. 

“Why bring that up again?  Didn’t you cover that topic in a prior post?”

Reminders aren’t always bad.  Your body reminds you to do things that may become lost in the bustle of the day.  I’ll tickle your mental calendar and encourage you as often as possible.  Surely you may conclude that the cure is worse than the ailment.  You could ignore the incessant pestering.  Maybe it will go away.  Maybe the sun will revolve around the moon and maybe the extreme right will make peace with the extreme left.

Anything’s possible.  I could write any fantasy you desire.  Imagination is not something lacking on this side of the communications channel.  There’s nothing wrong with imagining a world without warts and terrorists.  Until we become part of the solution we will be part of the problem by proxy.  How many minutes, hours, days, weeks, you get the idea, can you avoid engagement?

Step three requires completion of steps one and two.  Don’t believe me?  Try building the second floor of a model home without laying the foundation and constructing the first floor.  I know, the first two steps are sometimes laborious, tedious, uninspiring.  But they are necessary.

Tackle the problem and you will experience satisfaction that will fuel more accomplishment.

Enjoy your energetic and successful day.

Love and hugs, Nikki DeCaro
