Imagine this: You’re at the runner’s block. You’re in the starting position, raring to go, to sprint around the track. And yet, the starting gun doesn’t go off when you expect it to. Then the runner in the outside lane tweaks a muscle, causing a delay in the race. The next thing you know, there’s some commotion in the stands, causing further impediment while the officials investigate it. You’re waiting and waiting, with frustration beginning to boil within. You just want to run.
Today may have glimpses of this tale. You may feel that you’re ready to pursue something, to give it your all, and yet your actions are blocked. Instead of going from enthusiastic to frustrated in no-time flat, take a moment to reflect upon the situation, inventorying the reasons–both apparent and those not as obvious on the surface–that may be stifling your ability to assert yourself and pursue what you feel you want. What you may find is that your initial inclination on how to go about doing something may not have yielded you the outcome that was, in fact, best. In the time of reflection, you may also find some insight that allows you to hone your approach so that you can more fruitfully express yourself and achieve that which you seek. Taking a reflective time-out may end up actually being the key to running a truly amazing race.
