Travel and Helper Point day 1: facing the point
Great so we have the filing cabinet anchoring that corner now with an assortment of content creator objects on it: a microphone, camera, batteries and stapler. The stapler is vital! Other office objects are clustered into that end of the desk as well. On the floor headed toward the career point is my work bags for one of my classes and above that hangs the calendar and a painting of a phoenix crossing a full moon. There is in the very corner on top of the filing cabinet two toys. The doll my grandmother made for me sits with a much loved unicorn in her lap. Behind the doll is a sketch book. There’s quite a lot going on over here. This is probably the busiest corner of the room. This seems appropriate for what it represents, going places and communication with people.
I might want a desk organizer thing on that end of the desk to contain some of that stuff. Can I move it to the drawer? I have an ink bottle over there that needs to be emptied and thrown out. It has mould growing in it!! I want to get rid of the bag of T-shirts from the one gig but I don’t think I will be able to do it this time. GRRR. I love that the calendar has pictures of other places on it, that’s good. Currently is has one of an ocotillo and so I want to go to the desert. I’ve thought of buying a vacation rental out there for an income property. I don’t have the cashflow for that right now though.
I haven’t traveled much since I was in high school. Usually only going out for family business. But I do think it would be good for me to venture out. I think one way to get me out there is to have a business reason to go, a training, or gig, or something. It’s interesting that that thought of organizing my own trip or just going out without a plan is not how I want to do it. I have no idea how to even start to travel like that. Either one. Maybe the best way is to have a job out there and then venture out a bit from that?
More immediately I am focusing on the helpful people aspect of this point. What kind of helpful persons do I need in my life? Do I already have that or do I need to seek them out? How? It could be seeking out trainings. It could be as formal as hiring coaches. But maybe no maybe it’s about letting go of ambitions that actaully get in the way of my thriving. Maybe is has to do with trust. I have trust issues. Do I trust the people around me to help me if I need it? How can I move toward a knowing that the outcome is good even if the jouney there was terrible? Like all that, “the mountain nearly killed me but the view was worth it,” stuff.
I’m not getting the feeling that I need to do much in that corner.
