The sun sets on another day…
Sunset was a series of spectacular colors and I enjoyed every moment of it. There can be few things more impressive than an amazing sunset.
They say that a cluttered desk is a sign of genius. Move over Einstein, you have got nothing on me. If you have never been around somebody like me who has controlled chaos virtually all the time you wouldn’t know that sometimes a cluttered desk is a very organized desk. I have found over time that the things I use the most are most useful when they’re within arms reach. That doesn’t mean that everything doesn’t have a place, it just means that the place for some things may not be where others think it should be.
As I sit here thinking about this I am cleaning my desk and making sure that it is very beautiful and easy for me to find more. The side effect is I find a few things that don’t belong and need to be discarded. When I am done my desk will look clean to many but it will take me a little while to get used to as I find the placement for those things I use most.
Sometimes in life we need to be a little cluttered. This may be hard to hear but rarely does everything line up perfectly and even more rarely can we keep it that way once we find something that feels perfect.
Once Upon a Time I had a friend who believed that everything should be in a box. Their house was perfect, with everything in its place, and their life was equally aligned. I sat back and watched because far too often difficult situations were placed in their way and they did not know how to easily handle them. Eventually we did not see each other anymore as I was told I didn’t fit in a box.
How do you run your life? Is it controlled chaos? Is it pure chaos? Is it linear and clean always? It is with this in mind that you should ask yourself what type of life should I leave?
For me, control and putting your life in a box is an illusion and rarely attainable. I find myself often realizing that the things I want to control are likely uncontrollable and by that same token, the things I enjoy the most are the things that I cannot control.
So as the sun sets on another day, I hope you find the control that you are looking for and I hope that the chaos in your life brings you Joy everyday, no matter what.
Sleep sweet, love life, and I hope life is good..
