The Glorious Unbalanced Life
For months on end now I have been a production machine; my hair sees a brush once a day in the early a.m., my face shines itself to the world free of make-up, and my clothes are too big, too small, or not ‘in’ this season. I feel so absolutely liberated by the rush of building my business that everything else falls away, including myself. Which to many might appear to be an absolutely terrible thing to do but to me, and I’m the one who matters, it ranks right up there with the feeling of chasing kangaroos through the Australian paddock, feeling the thrust of a ship slapping against a dolphin popping sea, and free falling in a bi-plane over a brown twisting river. It is the feeling of growing momentum mouting in a wave, a water form that originated in my mind and came to fruition by the tenatious belief that I could build something far greater than myself.
And I’ve recently come across a challenge from outside myself; resistance from those who I used to spend lots of time with. I hear words like this, “Your life sounds so out of balance, we should really talk about this.” Or the one I like even more, “How’s your dating life?”
So I’m taking the time right now to remind myself that as I grow and change in response to the changing pressures of my new world, others will want me to remain the same. This I must resist at all cost. I must stay true to my vision and say, “This is a glorious unbalanced life, and I am a dolphin-kangaroo-jumping-out-of-a-bi-plane-over-a-*&%#*- brown-river-in the middle-of-the-sea-dammit. Leave me alone! ”
Back to work.
