There is a difficult tension in what I like to call The Art of Doing Life.

On one side of this life tension is a place where we need to actively get up and do stuff that allows our dreams and goals to become a reality. This can be easier said than done if were encountering blockades and we know what to do and pursue. However, circumstances out of our control can prevent us from completing our goals. When we find were in a place of actively pursuing our dreams, we will often find that even with obstacles we are driven to find creative ways to overcome these barriers and it can actually feel sweeter when we finally accomplish our goals.

The other side of this life tension is what is called Patience. This is one of those terms we all know we need more of in our lives, however, quite often have very little of to give. One of the ways I like to look at the word patience is that it is still a verb/action word. This means, although patience is often viewed as not doing anything, that’s not entirely accurate. The word patience to me, means it’s like the earth. Although typing this personal definition in my office, I actually don’t see or feel the earth moving, even though I know the earth is moving. As mentioned earlier, there are often circumstances and events outside of our control that are in motion, however, I still have to actively wait for it to transpire.

In the middle of the Art of Doing Life is a healthy place where we take action where and when we can and then actively wait for the outcome while working on other things like developing our relationships.

If you are in a place where your relationships or personal life circumstances are becoming difficult to get motivation in doing anything, or, you’ve done all that you can and not sure the reason your stuck then counselling with a qualified counselling therapist or psychotherapist might be the next step for consideration to begin walking in New Life.
