The answer to the Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe, and Everything. The Ultimate Question, however, is still unknown.
I’ve been MIA this month for a number of reasons.
I moved into a new place. With a move comes new habits, new routines, everything new. I needed to get used to all of it. I love my new place. It’s spacious and it’s so me. At least that’s what my mother thinks. I see many a nights on my back deck chillaxin. I just need a few citronella candles and some tiki torches to keep the bugs away.
I’ve been doing two challenges this month. A while back my life coach and friend, Shanel Cooper-Sykes, shared her month long gratitude challenge with us. Each day has a theme and can be easily incorporated in daily routines. Expressing gratitude on a daily basis is a great habit to pick up. I’ve also been doing a journaling challenge. A young lady a part of one of my encouragement groups on Facebook introduced us to this. Since I love to journal I jumped on board. The first week I shared. Then it got a little personal for me. I took the time this month to really look inside and see what is going on.
There are always questions that can make one think about an assortment of life’s wonders. These questions can make one think about where one fits into these wonders. They can make one think about…everything.
Case in point, I have been having some serious confidence issues lately. Topping the list, I’m lacking the confidence in my ability as a photographer and business woman. I know that I am a good photographer. The work that I produce for the company that I work for is good. It’s my own work in which I am not that confident about. I have not been satisfied with what I’ve been producing personally. Some say that I’m overly critical. Yes, maybe. I need to figure out the underlying issue with my confidence and squash it immediately. Doing this will open up a few more solutions to other areas that I am having issues in.
Answering questions almost always brings up more questions to answer. It’s a never ending cycle in my opinion. The upside is that one is constantly learning different sides, angles, and dimensions of a subject. The downside is that one will get confused, frustrated, and possibly shut down for a bit.
For me the weight is more on the shutting down side of the scale. Weight is being lifted and distributed accordingly as more clarity is reached. The scales will be balanced in no time at all. I can tell you this…it won’t take 7.5 million years. 🙂
