Forgive the silence over here as of late. Truth be told, I’ve got nothing to say. Nothing much has been going on in terms of moving my business forward and I’m somewhat at a standstill. I keep hitting these walls which I’m going to guess are built from fear, procrastination and other emotions. Damn am I having a hard time knocking them down.
I can’t help be wonder if closing up my shop temporarily was a mistake. I almost feel as my sense of direction and purpose closed with it too. I keep writing these posts sharing what I’m doing and where I’m going, yet somewhere along the way, I fall off the ride and I feel as though I’m left standing in the dust.
If I look back on my life, I have a habit of doing this and perhaps it not the best route to take. I can count many times when I’ve believed that “starting over” would result in a “better way” yet when I think about it, all it seems to do as make the path I’m on feel even longer and all the more tiring.
Why do you keep repeating the same mistakes over and over when we know ourselves well enough to realize they’ll never reap the benefits we hope for?

I know how hard it is to keep with everyone and everything, but I’m also a firm believer in taking breaks. Perhpas, now is a good time to take a complete week or month off. Don’t work on the business and try not to think about it. That way you can come back, evaluate things with a refreshed mind. You have something great going on over here…
I tend to push myself forward but there are background things that I don’t address and they tend to keep cropping up. I always think that I just need to blaze forward, but there are some things that need to be addressed and can’t be ignored. I’ve been going through this a lot lately.
I think the effect is cumulative over time… it’s to the point where I can no longer ignore my problems. So, I’m trying to talk about them and ask for help. But, it’s not easy and I’m really anxious about it. Even though I can skirt around my problems and still feeling like I’m advancing, I know I could go even further if I tackle things head-on. Does this make sense? I feel like I’m rambling…
