My life has taken an unexpected turn. As the year comes to a close, I am no closer to completing my graphic design program but I finally found the missing link I've been pursuing for the past year and a half.
A stroke of good fortune enabled me to attend a residency at Banff last week. It was short and sweet and I am left reeling with new insights and ideas. But best of all, I have set a course to pursue a new structure in my life that will enable me to do my work. I've also been blessed with mentors who have invested in my personal and professional life. The trick will be to overcome all the distractions that could prevent me from fulfilling my destiny. How do I stay the course?
My primary distraction is email. Whole days get diverted and swallowed up by constatantly responding to my inbox. I am compelled to check and I feel anxious if I don't. This disrupts the flow of my thoughts and keeps me from doing my work.
Just like any addict, I will have to battle this enemy one moment at a time.
