6:30am > ALARM > Snooze
6:40am > Snooze
6:50am > Snooze
7:00am > Alarm off > Get up (I know where I’m going and I have plenty of time . . . )
COFFEE ~ clothes ~ teeth, hair & makeup
7:30am > Head to Wordcamp
I know just where I am going – and I do – it’s just that when I get there, it turns out that WordCamp is not where I think it is . . .
<panic> WHERE IS IT? </panic>
<action> CALL ORGANIZER ~ no answer > text organizer ~ no response > check website for address: SUCCESS! </action>
Turns out the school has a second location in South Austin. And because I knew about the North location, as soon as I saw the name of the location, I quit paying attention . . . because I knew.
I’ve done this before – no doubt will again. And I do get the value of the things we know in life. Without them we’d be lost in many ways.
What has my attention now is when knowing is more of a reaction. I’m now looking at what is possible when I’m present in these circumstances. And where knowing limits me in my creativity, business and personal relatonships. What IS possible when I give up knowing in a reactive way . . . I’m committed to finding out.
Inspired by Leslie Hancock, a presenter at WordCamp Austin.
