"The right thing isn't always real obvious. Sometimes
the right thing for one person is the wrong thing for
someone else. So ... good luck figuring that out!"
Stephenie Meyer
A child lacking life experience, stands on the edge of the cliff, pondering the sensations of falling without any credence to smacking into the solid earth below. The parent demands, "What were you thinking?" Actually, the child was thinking, totally focused on the ecstasy of falling.
In times of stress as an adult, we feel the world closing in on us and obliterate free thinking. Time is of the essence and pressure builds, while our perspectives continue to narrow. We are obsessed with unearthing a solution and may not necessarily be considering the fallout of our hastily made choice.
An obvious resolution is not guaranteed to be the best choice. It may have remedied a different situation, but it may be entirely wrong for the present. If we can take a pause, stretch out time, and distract our minds briefly, we may be surprised by the creative options that appear. Figuring things out may be best accomplished by allowing ourselves to wander in nature, meditate, pray, or visit a place that is sacred to you. Continue to explore until a choice resonates for both the present and the future.
