Limbo...Should be Lived!
I’m currently sitting here waiting for my other job’s computer to finish the long frozen screen of Excel. If you work with Excel, you know the frustration of waiting for it to finish the task at hand when it’s overwhelmed, only for it to finally tell you…Document Didn’t save. Oh yea, I’m sure you did press Control S or file Save many times. But does Excel care that you have a deadline, 2 young kids to entertain and a husband who is hungry? No, it simple thinks about itself. It’s a software so it also thinks about whether or not it has enough memory to achieve the functions you ask it to do but that’s not the point. The point is life is just a series of waiting and Excel is the route of all Evil. Ok not all Evil, but it’s not going to heaven when it’s time for Excel to go to the next life.
The next life is going to be filled with love, and Excel doesn’t have love, nor does waiting eternity for anything we need to get done. But maybe, just maybe, the fact is we will always have to wait and the goal is to stop living in that limbo.
Sound confusing yet.
If you are sitting there waiting for the next task to start, or the next fun time to begin again, all that time you spent waiting was for what? Are we really going to accept all of that time just wasted?
If you said yes, and I suspect some of you have said just that. You don’t have to. Sounds crazy but its true. It’s not to say that the limbo moments won’t continue to exist but it’s how we LIVE in those moments that matters.
Taking the time to do the things we want to do or need to do. Where there is a Will, there is a way!
If you aren’t using your brain in the moments of limbo then dance to the music in your mind, or go get that coffee you wanted.
There is just so much you can do to make up and take back your time.
Make the lists of the things you are so anxious about, get to know YOU better. Get to know your Kids better. Laugh at jokes with the people around you. Watch the movie you keep putting off.
You may not be physically moving forward in the moment, but that doesn’t mean you can’t LIVE in the moment.
My excel has unfrozen and my job was completed but, at that time, I wrote this….I laughed with my children and connected with my husband for 10 minutes. It was a glorious 10 minutes.
How do You want to live?
