Refraining from Eloping!

I need to calm my racing thoughts after the exciting revelation of the direction for my new business that really seems to be the expression of who I am. As I reflected on the gradual unveiling of the business through a process of patient “disclosures”, born of ideas under a banner commitment of “things that lift the spirit”, I gradually walked a path through clouded concepts until I came to a clearing in which everything fell into place at long last. And as I did so, it was as if all the suffering of recent years fell away: all roads lead to this point, to what I feel is the beginning of the fulfilment of my true potential at long last. Suddenly, it all makes sense. And I cried.

Conscious that excitement is the converse of low spirits, I chose to keep from thinking too much about it, preferring to let the dust settle on this momentous revelation to allow me to absorb it all and become aware of what was needed to bring the concept into being, retaining that inner peace and centredness, doing what I can for now and seeking a helping hand from the universe where needed.

Hours later, the settling is slowly taking place, some structural aspects begun; I went through the reaction to the excitement, the “downer” born of fear of not being up to the task and also perhaps of having over-reacted, worried it may not be as big as what I saw when it struck me originally. I noticed the negativity and let is pass over me, seeking instead to balance myself and connect with all that is so that I may find myself, my true self, the man with a vision, once more. Then I hand it over to that greater balanced me and that guiding hand, the source of everything, to process things in due course, without haste. How different is that from all the rushed enthusiasm of yesteryear, when projects would have me elope, running away on a cloud of sometimes ill-conceived haste; now let’s see what patience produces in its place!
