VOID OF COURSE

I find myself in an unfamiliar place, a place where my next steps aren’t fully planned or fully baked.

It’s weird for a self-proclaimed super planner but it doesn’t scare or worry me that I don’t have the path fully defined and figured out for this next chapter.

I feel like I’m playing with “house money” having achieved a 20 year set of goals in half the time allotted.

I literally feel like I just got a bonus decade.

So without a defined timeline, a lot of my energy is going to the following:

👉Reflection.

👉Exploration.

👉Experimentation.

👉Education.

👉Reinvention.

👉New experiences.

👉New connections.

👉More adventure.

It’s  productivity, but expressed in a new form.

I’m embracing a new philosophy… Once you won the game, the game becomes a tool, it’s no longer your master.

Although I have lived my life in a way that minimizes regrets and maximizes fulfillment, in this post economic chapter, I find myself wanting to level up in preparation for the next endeavor.

So, for today, I continue to embrace the “void of course.”

It doesn’t mean I throw out discipline. I still believe that discipline equals freedom. I’m also self-aware enough to know that I personally require structure and that I thrive on routine.

So I use this time in the void to define new structure to build new routines so that I can continue to thrive because life is too short to merely survive.

And I have no interest in living my life on auto pilot. You might say there’s a bit of contradiction in this statement, but I don’t see it that way. The structure, the discipline, the routines are all just tools and protocols that allow me to be more intentional in living life to its fullest.

In this chapter, I’m leaning more on intuition, inspiration, and serendipity to act as my compass.

Can anyone relate?
