Sorting Life’s Endless Tasks

 

I’d be honest in stating I’m struggling. In what? In sorting the endless tasks, I have put up for myself in life, and the journey I have set out to have. I have my family, my work, my learning, my routine tasks and myself as an individual to attend to. I often get to hear from my coachee’s during a coaching conversation the similar struggle. And its but natural to feel overwhelmed. Its but natural to not feel at peace and calm when you have multiple things to attend to. A usual coaching conversation also states that at such times, they procrastinate, that is postponing tasks till the need to do it becomes dire. Isn’t that too so obvious. I mean when we are overwhelmed, we generally don’t know where to begin from. So just wait for the right time, right setting, right people to be with you, right support mechanism, right frame of mind. Just the ‘right’ of everything. Who knows when ‘right’ will come. But hope is there that it will.

But then there is a catch, the moment which is ‘right’ is right here, right now. The moment is right when the mind feels it is right and wants to make it right. Its as right as it can get if the mind wants it to be. Against all odds, we can just begin. Just begin to be more accountable towards the aspirations we have, the goals we have set for ourselves. Just be ready to keep the promise to be accountable towards yourself and give it a start. The ball keeps rolling. Just like in this picture. The river of life offers endless tasks and responsibilities. It swells up in front of you if you keep piling it up with more work. Our time on earth is limited and we can get started with what we need to do by sorting the tasks in buckets and acting on them. The time is right here, right now, it’s the right time.
