A Lesson

Since leaving work several years ago

I've discovered so much the Universe has to offer

and walked around and around in circles

trying to figure out who I am & what I'm supposed to do

I started missing the confidence & strength of Career Me

As I annoyingly put up with Seeker Me

I could feel the answers at the perimeter of my questions

But they bottle-necked as they all tried entering my brain at the same time

Or I was just too blind to see them

Easy to do when my eyes are closed

 It was in the process of doing a master to do list

the one where you write every single thing you think you need to do

that it came to me

so damned simple that I felt like a fool

I've been looking at this all wrong

I was compartmentalizing myself

Career Me. Seeker Me. Plus all the other Me(s)

When the reality is they are all a part of me that create the whole me

I know. I know. You're saying 'well duh'

But when you've got your eyes closed (like me)

You can't see it

Until you open your eyes

So here's my lesson

Find the thing you're really good at

Apply similar skills to the things you want to get good at

Pat every fear on the back & sing "Everything's gonna be alright..." ala Bob Marley

and most importantly 

that I won't learn the lesson until I'm willing to see the lesson

Yesterday's amazing sun aura

 Like a huge AHA moment

See the road down below...it was huge

(By the way, I don't have to put a disclaimer here that says this is my lesson, right?
 I don't have to say I don't think I know everything & I'm not trying to tell you what to do, right?
I know you're all smarter than that...)
