What do I really want?

question mark, knowledge, question-3255140.jpg

The uncertainty in that question reveals the root cause of every frustration: I don’t know! 

And under that frustration is fear: fear of not finding IT, fear of change thus loss, fear of identity shift (if I change, will I still be me?), fear of making a wrong choice…and those are just a few I can think of at the moment! 

Into the Mud

Those fears send me “below the line”, into the mud where I can’t see clearly or even beyond my nose, where I am in the uncomfortable dark in every way. 

This metaphor is viscerally describes the classic state of I-don’t-know-ness.  What kind of decision, action and outcome might you expect if they are made in the mud? Well, looks like we could end up back in the mud- a continuous vicious cycle.
