It is alright to simply stop, to get off of the treadmill of doing, and rest. Pausing to reflect or pivot doesn’t mean that you’re quitting, less than, or lost.
If you are used to being in charge, but haven’t yet found your purpose, you may feel like you’re chasing your tail. You wonder where the pleasure has gone and worry that you’re missing the point. The real point of it all.
To do what you can is to be exactly where you are right now without forcing, without over-exerting. To do the task you wish to do rather than what’s expected. Or, to finally take that nap, that trip, make that phone call to a friend for a spontaneous visit.
Going, while disconnected from our higher purpose, gets us nowhere. We may fool ourselves into believing we’ve got it all figured out, and maybe on paper it appears that we do. But this isn’t a contest and no one will reward you for burning out.
When we collaborate with the universe, struggle begins to loosen its mighty grip. We go where we are needed and move swiftly through obstacles that once held us hostage.
