A continuation of my ‘Seeker’ story, which began here…
While I did ‘wander’ for many years, I always went to work (this was non-negotiable; to my mind, not working was not an option), even if the work didn’t excite me, or reflect anything about me. I also “wandered” with respect to personal relationships. I think I had a deep sense of ‘knowing’ that marriage was not to be entered lightly. I saw many marriages fail and, unfortunately, there were not many couples in my life that I felt I could use as good role models- there were none I wanted to emulate. (In hindsight, I realize this probably wasn’t true.) In any case, I had no false impression that marriage would be a fairy tale!
In sum, I am an excellent example of a seeker who has felt ‘out of sorts’ most of her life. On a spectrum with ‘scattered’ on one end, and ‘stable’ on the other, I definitely fall at the scattered end. My history, and the process and success I’ve experienced through LivingBluPrints provide great material for writing this blog/book; for sharing what has allowed me to rise above the tendencies (easily distracted, bored and drained by the daily grind) that can sometimes serve against the *better* path.
Most of us feel scattered in at least one area of life (or if not scattered, maybe one area is neglected, where you are not who/what you want to be). Broadly, these areas might include: work/career, family/relationships, community, exercise, food, recreation, and home.
What are the scattered (or neglected) categories for you? Begin to envision and imagine the result of rising above tendencies that cause the scatter, or contribute to the neglect.
