Going In Circles

Have you ever felt like you were going in circles?

It seems to happen to me quite often. And, I written about it a lot in my newletter .

I call it The Spiral of Life.

For me, the goal is to be climbing the Spiral, getting closer to my Vision. Not descending, falling back, moving away from my Vision.

What hit me today was the notion that travelling the Spiral, looping around to ideas and problems we’ve seen before is and should be accompanied by moving into and out of ourselves.

What do I mean?

I believe that purpose is given clarity by going inward to explore what we need, want, believe, and value. Then we must move outward and act on that purpose. When we act in line with the purpose, move in the direction of Vision (even a dimly perceived vision we move up the Spiral.

And, even if our movement is not perfectly aligned with our Vision the act of moving generates energy for us to a) better understand our vision by b) moving even more.

I’m back where I began in June of this year. But, I have a clearer perspective, a renewed focus, a greater commitment.

I wonder where the Spiral is taking me?
