Pushing and Pulling

Heyo,

Recently I have been reading the Mistborn series (per recommendation from little sister). In the book some people are born with the gift to 'burn' metals, each metal has a different action. Anyway because it is science fiction it talks quite a bit about the mechanics of it all...leading me to thinking about pushing and pulling. Part of the power of certain metals is the ability to push off of coins and then opposing pull the coins toward them. Mistborns use this to fly and fight. However I begun to attach the concept somewhat more concretely to the reality we live.

All of  life we are pushing things away or pulling them towards us. What am I reaching for? What am I running from? It has a great deal to do with life purpose and the actions we take. Mistborns train and practice, taking a great deal of thought to their plans, but here, we push and pull not altogether thinking much at all. Certainly never practicing.

I want to be trained in the gifts I have. No matter the level of hardness involved.


Keep reading.

Problems with Lists

Heyo,

Been into creating lists and been pretty vocal about it on the blog, so I have been thinking a lot about their purpose lately. See if asked I often say I dislike them, but I continue to use them. Thus I am conflicted, are they good or are they bad?

Con                                                                                  Pro

Lack of flexibility                                                           Organization
Remember what you need to do                                     Remember what you need to do
Guilt                                                                                Motivation

This is all I could come up with, but I have the feeling there are more. See evaluation of a tool is essential in understanding it's importance. Are lists extremely valuable or only mildly helpful. One could say if you don't know what to do, how are you going to do it? Other would say you should do more and you wouldn't have to worry about remembering?

What pro's/con's can you think of?

ps. as much as I dislike lists I have a terrible memory soooo until I find a substitute the list stays.

Out of Practice???

Heyo,

There are so many things I enjoy doing and many, many more things that I want to do. Time management is important, still no amount of planning allows me unlimited time. Inevitably there are things that get cut.

This is painful

For the last month I have been trying to take care of family and chill. I would like to say "rest" or "have fun" or better yet "figure life out", but it is just care and chill. That was all I could manage. I am trying branch back out now. School left me burnt and I having trouble knowing what to do and what to pause on for the summer. I have no slow speed; it is all stop and go in my book. I want to do things, but I am not always doing the right thing.  Because deciding the right things for me and the wrong things take time and thought and a lot of help. In other words it is hard.

Last week I started taking small steps, I took a few more today and I hope to take a few tomorrow. Although in my head 'tomorrow' is always the day I get all the things done. Writing this is making me think of all those things, guess I should go make a list.

Blogging is therapeutic and yet I paused for awhile, not something I planned and truly I would have liked to considered it more than I did.

Wow. There has been awhile between posts here. Hope you are doing well!
