Incomplete, that could be the title of my autobiography. I am notorious for starting things and not finishing them. Ask anyone who has been around me awhile and they will co-sign this fact. Like many creatives, I get an idea, jump head first in, and then, when my energy runs out, I quit. The task or project gets neatly placed on top of the pile of things incomplete. The interesting thing about all of my incomplete projects is that many of them are related or similar. Begun 10 years apart but addressing the same topic. I guess I am consistent in that way. My unconscious repackages the old and presents it as new, kind of like marketers do.
It’s these new/old projects that have captured my attention. Why do they continue to resurface and why do I keep abandoning them? Why can I not complete something I seem to have a deep connection to? What is causing me to abandon when I need to be nurturing and building? These have been the questions I have been asking myself.
These “projects” are not limited to creative projects. This abandonment and rediscovery crosses all areas life. They are present in people, events, opportunities, and experiences. Things that have been directly and indirectly pushed away, have found a way or a reason to stay. They are here for a reason, it’s time to figure out what that reason is.
I encourage you all this week to pay attention to those things that are omnipresent. Allow yourself to think about those people and ideas that seem to find ways to stay in your life directly or indirectly. Figure out their purpose and allow those purposes to be benefit in your life and development.
Make it a great week everyone.
