Flowing Water

I had a moment of realization sitting by Thompson Creek in the David Thompson area of Alberta today. I love to sit by flowing water watching and listening. Being in the mountains and sitting by a body of flowing water is heaven on earth for me. Watching water flow whether fast, slow, impeded or with amazing power brings me peace and joy. Not to mention many valuable lessons.

I have been doing self work on distraction and trying to overcome the energy drain of distraction. I encountered a lot of frustration trying to create an environment of no distractions and controlling things that distract me. Big problem here, I can't control a lot of them. I can minimize them, but I can't control them.

As I sat by the water it came to me that the only two things I need to control are my attitude and my work ethic. Now at first this was deflating, yup I can only control me. Then as I sat and pondered the truth of this I began to feel free. Those two things can really set me free. So that is what I am going to do, focus on my attitude and my work ethic. The amount of energy left over for me will be immense.

I love how simple but impactful these moments are that come and change my frame of reference. Its not like this is new information to me but the timing was perfect.
