Do You Ever Feel so Tangled up That You Can’t Move Forward in Your Own Business?

Just over a year ago, my family and I experienced the serious illness of my Mom, and all my brothers and sisters had to deal with this situation together.

Everything was ambiguous and we didn’t know what was going to happen for sure.  We couldn’t even make plans.

What I needed to keep saying to all of the others was, “You know, we just have to take this one step at a time.  We don’t know what the end result is going to be.

“We don’t even know what’s going to happen from moment to moment because it’s all uncertain.  So what we need to do is soften this whole experience, right?

“Would you agree that no matter what happens we’re going to have to deal with it in the moment?  But we can soften it a little bit by acknowledging that right now, here is where we are.

“What we have to do is understand that we can’t fix this right now”.

I said this in front of all our family members.  “Can we all be Ok with the fact that we can’t fix this right now? Can we all agree that right now we can’t fix this?”

They were like, “Yeah.  OK, then what can we do?  Where can we find our place of power even now in what seems like a place of no power.”

This was the softening that we all needed to cope with the unknown and still be in the present to take action as needed.
