The feeling of disorder can be a great teacher.
The world is filled with people whose greatest setbacks and roadblocks were the starting points that drove them further to accomplishing amazing things.
Out of the chaos, they created order.
Does that mean the disorder was a key part of the eventual order? Of bringing the person to the clarity of what they needed to do to make a difference?
Order is the result of enjoying what you are doing. Disorder is a perception that what is happening isn’t what ‘should’ be happening.
When we do what we ‘should’ be doing, there is resistance.
‘I should write a new post every day’
‘I should be training 5 days a week’
‘I should be working 14 hour days’
Pretty soon, we miss a post, or a session, or burn out. Because it’s not what we should be doing, but what we think we should be doing, based on other peoples expectations.
I recently heard a bricklayer call into a local radio station and tell how he would take his trowel with him on holidays around the world so that he could find a construction site in another country and do a day of work.
He didn’t accept payment, in most cases he didn’t even speak the language, but when he turned up, they understood.
He loved the feeling of making his own contribution to different building sites on different continents throughout the world. It was his mission, his way of contributing.
How often do we hear someone say about their work or job, ‘It just pays the bills’.
When you find the people who truly love what they do they are full of enthusiasm, the job not only pays the bills, it fulfils them and gives them purpose. There is no disorder.
A feeling of disorder exists so that we can get closer to realising what we actually love to do.
If you love to write, you write. If you have a passion for fitness, you work out. If you have a vision to become a successful business person, or entertainer you work on the vision, and if you want to build walls, you find a way.
There is no should.
