We often find ourselves having to reinvent what’s important to us, and come to terms with dissatisfactions. Yet sometimes, our dissatisfaction is based on definitions we’ve created for concepts such as happiness, fulfillment, usefulness, connection that are definitions that no longer fit our situations.
What definitions do you have that might be based on old information and that might need some tweaking?
I have many avocations I’ve followed during my life, such as gardening, jogging, making herb sachets, playing a mountain dulcimer, riding a bicycle along with other activities but now I am older and don’t have the inclination nor the energy to follow so many pursuits. I find I will have to pick and choose what remains important to me and limit my time to those that I can and want to pursue. I have always thought I could have time and energy to do lots of these concurrently but it will not be so now.
