In looking at my schedule, I asked myself what I could have done differently. First, I made a list of the things I had committed to doing. I made a column for “currently doing”, “need to do” and “like to do”. Second, I made a list of all the people that I knew that had expertise in the areas I was working on for my company.
My third list was the most difficult . . . what I could ask someone to help me with. This instantly brought up lots of personal issues for me! How much control was I willing to let go of? Who would want to take the time to help me? How could I pay for this work?
Our greatest gift is our greatest challenge. My gift of helping and giving to others was way out of balance. I gave and gave but had trouble receiving. Even when people offered to help, I would politely decline. I now know that if there isn’t an equal energy exchange, it’s not sustainable. My body was shouting me at me that what I was doing wasn’t sustainable.
Today, balance is my mantra. Each day as I ask for balance, I am shown the many possible ways the world is waiting to assist me. All you need to do is get clear on what you want and then ask. A new Adventure begins!
