The title principle should be obvious--and it is. But for me, the application of this principle is about discipline and determination.
I read once that when your mind is cluttered, your space becomes cluttered. To an extent, I have noticed that the more chaos there is in my life, emotionally or physically, the more chaos there is in my space.
A sure way to clean up your space, is to organize your mind. That's an aside, though.

My life has not been a comedy of errors, but a comedy serendipitous opportunities leading to everywhere--and nowhere.
Have you ever felt like you've been a lot of places but never yet arrived at any one place?
That is the feeling in my life right now. And at the age of thirty-mumble, mumble, this feeling has bred a certain amount of discontent.
I notice it most when others make comments or ask questions that seem to come from a place of disapproval. But that's the thing. I don't want their life. I want a fantastic and exciting life. I don't want the life that everyone else leads.
Yet the dreams I have are blurred and so life keeps meandering. And the strong pull of what is the "right/responsible/grownup" way to live draws me back and forth like the knot in the center of a tug-o-war rope.
And so my life resembles the path of a staggering drunk at times.

But what if I can set aside the critics' input, dig deep down into my own deepest soul, and focus my energy, creativity and effort in a way that most satisfies me? What would that life look like? I have a feeling that's exactly the life I want to lead--exactly what I want my life to look like.

:-) I already told you this, but I find your thoughts refreshing... knowing that what I'm going through is not something I'm going through alone. I appreciate you!
