If it’s not one thing…

.
For each of us there seem to be certain periods in our lives when we feel we are focused on taking a certain direction, and yet it doesn’t happen. If it is not one thing that needs to be taken care of, it is another. And just when we think we are finished; it’s all taken care off, and now we can (finally) get back on track and start doing ‘our thing’ (whatever it is we have chosen that to be), then something else happens that definitely takes priority and needs to be handled first.

It can add loads of frustration to our, already busy, lives. And yet, whichever way you look at it, whatever makes it to the top of the list needs to be handled first. It is just that at that time we often fail to see that it ~ even while we never planned for it ~ is just as much part of our path as the things we actually have planned for ourselves and our lives.
The difficult part is to find the connection, to find how it fits in, and then to run with it from the most positive angle we can muster.

Often, when things come to a close and we take a moment to look back, hindsight may reveal a lot of the reasons and motives that had been at play all along. And just as often, it leaves us with a sense of gratefulness or having been placed in that particular situation in the first place…

Yet no matter how grateful we are, independent from how good, nice, productive even that period has been for us; it does leave us with the question whether our initial chosen direction was the right direction for our path ~ there was just something that came in between that needed to be handled first ~ or whether these things ‘keep interfering’ with our lives because the Universe is trying all it can to make us change directions. To point us in a way that is more beneficial to us in the long run ~ or even i the short term.
Especially when things, events, and situations that are ‘interfering’ keep popping up in our lives…

It will always be a signal that it is time to re-evaluate. To see whether we indeed should change directions, do different things, or at least do things differently. Or whether we are given the opportunity to clean up a lot of lose ends, and once we have tied those up we will be given the green light to move ahead in leaps and bounds…
