#Freeme: Mental clutter 10/1/20

I’m in an interesting space right now - considering the personal challenges and objectives that I must complete in order to progress and the state of the society in America.
I have bills to pay, just like most people. I have some bill collectors calling, just like most people. My car is currently down, but that’ll be fixed soon. America is still racist, that’s not going to change. The presidential election is about a month out, and neither party cares for Africans in America… The so called pandemic is still going, but who knows what’s happening while we are distracted.. LeBron is in the finals again, maybe he’ll finally be called the GOAT over MJ. Kids are going missing daily, but the NFL is playing through COVID, and the Chiefs look like they can win another Super Bowl.
In the midst of life internally, there’s a lot going on externally. There’s issues in this world that deserve immediate attention, but it’s hard to see beyond my own problems sometimes. It’s a sad thing, to realize car trouble can distract one from being knowledgeable of the kidnapping rings or the bills being passed to further oppress the people - Yet, I can still be aware that LeBron is in the finals.
Life is truly a balancing act at times and at other times it’s a complete worry free walk on the beach with your toes out, because you know you’ve done everything you were supposed to do.
Right now, I feel like that trapeze artist balancing on a bar, swinging getting prepared to transition to the next bar. Knowing the next bar is the next level, I still sometimes hold on to long to what was, instead of moving forward.
Progression calls for the elimination and death of old habits. It also calls for the ultimate level of self awareness, as when I am more self aware, I put my family in a better position to live life in abundance (no matter the conditions of society.)
