The fine line between Dreams and Reality
Hello Friends.
Today is a day where work was slow, but it also felt productive at times. Things do not always turn out how we want them to, especially when uncertainty lingers in the air. Imagine, working at your job and you know a change is likely to occur.
You see it like a hurricane off the shore, aware that it may come into your path. While you remain in the cone of uncertainty, your mind can dances between dreams and reality.
It is difficult to express this idea to someone who has not ever experienced it before. It is as though you are mentally preparing for an issue to happen, but also aware it could entirely miss you.
Similarly, I am storm prepping in regards to my employment adjustments. I don't know when things will change, what will change, or how they will change at my job. But I know how important it is to remain mentally prepared for anything that can happen.
As someone who has anticipatory grief, it is not easy to shake that feeling. Did you know you can grieve over the loss of a job, or a friendship because that part of your life may "die"? I think you have experienced this once before. I do not know of many who have not.
Life is beautiful, but there are times where it is just as scary. The experiences we have are not always good ones and the fear sometimes feels bigger than the faith. However, the inner strength does not come from external relationships or from external influences. Inner strength to cope with uncertainty starts from within.
If you ever feel like you don't have faith... Sit in a chair. 🪑 Literally... Think about your chair. You automatically have faith because you know it is going to hold you up. No one had to tell you today that it will... You already know. This is where our inner beliefs are important.
In my case, though I may be facing a hurricane 🌀 and standing in the cone of uncertainty, I am doing what I can to prepare. This includes searching for a new job (an exit route) or battening down the hatches (staying in waiting, preparing,) for something to happen. But through it all... Allow your faith to become bigger than your fear...
