Dear Beloved one,
I am writing because I didn’t have time to finish my new essay that was supposed to come out today. Also I didn’t like my last pace. It was forced. Ugly. And that’s okay. I accept it. I understand that I can’t do everything in life always perfectly since perfectionism is not our reality.
There is a great part in the book called Bird by Bird describing perfectionism:
“Clutter and mess show us that life is being lived...Tidiness makes me think of held breath, of suspended animation... Perfectionism is a mean, frozen form of idealism, while messes are the artist's true friend. What people somehow forgot to mention when we were children was that we need to make messes in order to find out who we are and why we are here.”
~Anne Lamott, Bird by Bird
And to be honest I did something more important over a weekend without being aware. Instead of improving my ratio and ability to earn more money I spend weekend planting seeds in young talent, reconnecting with roots, rethinking my beliefs… And it feels amazing.
I am on the crosroad of my life’s paths, soul voyages, ratio’s conquests.
What to do, what not to.
What is moraly correct? What’s not?
Where to find all the answers?
…
My life duty is to find my life task and establish eudaimonia.
What souls crave ratios neglect.
The story old as a human kind.
How to sync them?
My task is to find the way and make it happend.
Harmony between soul and ratio.
Such a beautiful state for human being.
To all of you, how are in your early twenties and still lost
It is okay to feel lost and not see the clear path in front of you. Almost each of us went through that phase.
The only certainty in your early twenties is that there will be a lot of turbulence. That’s normal. Accept it. You are finding yourself; you are in a constant search for a sense of purpose, acceptance, social hierarchy, and mating partner.
The non-answered questions will be hunting you. Don’t let them consume you.
Surrender to the journey. Fall in love with the process. Obsess being 1% better each day.
Everything will be fine. Be more of who you are. I believe in you.
Whish everybody is happy and healthy,
Your Andela <3
