It’s all about that high shrieking sound… or feedback.
Dear Friends,
“Research is the process of going up alleys to see if they are blind.” — Marston Bates (1906-1974) U.S. zoologist
How like life, in general. You head one direction, realize it you’ve found a blind alley, only to head off in another direction all together. Sometimes you’re lucky, and can do it intentionally — “I’m going to try sprouts, just to see if I still don’t like them..” Other times it is more of a — “Wow, that sucks. I’m in a blind alley with a rabid dog.”
If you spend any time in the personal development areas – you’ll here sayings like “There is no failure. Only feedback.” (I would attribute it to someone, but I’ve heard it from too many people to know an accurate source.) What they don’t tell you, is the definition of feedback includes audio feedback and that high pitched shrieking noise that alerts you; woops.
But think of this as the Universe’s way of saying: Ok, lets try something else. This is a blind alley. We’re on an adventure.. and when we’re done, we’ll have lots of stories about all those blind alleys we hit.. with and without rabid dogs.
Wishing you luck on your adventure –
Kaye
P.S. The advanced practice: Letting it go and moving on. Accept that maybe this isn’t where you really wanted to be.. and to some degree, that might feel sucky (yes, sucky is a technical term). Take a moment to regroup, and decide what you’re going to do about it next. Sure, you can stand there and beat your head against the brick wall if it helps. After all, it feels so good when you stop.
