What To do About It

Ugh..the dreaded dry spell.?How do you deal with it when nothing seems to want to complete, your business isn't where you want it to be, and you're thinking, "What made me think this was a good idea?"

Believe me, I've been there.?Time for some perseverance.?Or that little thing that people call courage.?You're in it, and the only way out is through it.?Keep going.

For me, courage is what people call it when you do what you are going to have to do anyway.?

For decades, I lived in the back country of Big Sur, far from any possible way to make excuses. The wild won't listen to any human excuse.?It just won't go.?

As a mountain woman, I went out in the rain to get wood to warm up the house, drove on muddy roads in the dead of winter, and lived for long periods without things that most people in the modern world use every day without thinking about them.?It was part of the way of life, and I just did these things, because they needed to be done.?Is it courage to live your life??If I didn't do stuff, it didn't get done.?Is it brave to drive a muddy road when you have to??Maybe.?It's really a matter of hanging in there, of facing things as they come.?It's using your mind to find the good in things, finding the beauty of the moment.? It's always there if you are willing to look for it.

Dry spells happen, and the only way out is through.?Find something about the situation that is good.?It's there if you look hard enough.?Get creative, and shift your point of view.

Stick with that and focus your attention on what can be done.?And then, do it. Once YOU make a move, things start to move.
