Staying Connected

The only thing we can be certain of, is that things won’t go according to plan. We can plan for, not going according to plan. Time matters, if in each moment we are doing something that matters to us. If today matters. If we are connecting the moments. Backwards and Forwards. There is a temptation to weight time differently. To release the past. To discount the future. To focus on now alone. That is not my approach. I love my story. Revisiting my story. It provides context to the habits, loops, scripts, drivers, responses and incentives that create the way I see the world. With attentive feedback and reflection, that rewire the way I will see the world. The way I will interact with others. I value my future. The future of the others who will follow. The connection I will have to their story. What we can plan for, is our ability to endure. Our ability to cope. To adapt, adjust, and accommodate the uncertainty. Plans don’t have to be about control. Plans can start with acceptance and investment in capacity. They can start with a deep breath. Then move forward while staying connected.
