COMING OUT OF CONFUSION

Confusion – you know, that noise machine that moves in like a fog and mingles together thoughts and feelings until there is nothing identifiable left to choose from?

It’s like torture to get stuck in it. Everything seems possible, but nothing seems definite or clear. We try to make a decision from that place, and we get even more lost in the “what if’s” only to find the ground shifting constantly below our feet. Confusion is the first line of defense that our patterns set up to keep us a prisoner and running on the mouse wheel of the status quo.

​It’s a protective mechanism set in place by fear usually. Coming through its gauntlet of doubt, indecision, vacillation and all the rest leads us to clarity and the realization that the choices themselves aren’t as important as just making one.
