Back to The Attic

I am Back in the Attic!

Did you ever hear that sometimes to be able to give 2 steps forward you need to give 1 step backward? Well… I hate to admit that… but this time I will have to agree with the old say…

You se… I am the sort of guy the usually pushes forward in any circumstance… some times too far… But I usually refuse to step back when I believe I’m right… That has landed me into a load of trouble throughout my life. It has also pushed people I love away…

I have a small problem with boundaries… I tend to see them… the walls that people buid… as the sort of challenge that I can’t say no to… Thos walls we build around us to protect from the outside also mean that we are imprisoning ourselves on the inside… half the time we just don’t realise that…

I am in a crusade that I call The Journey… I am trying to find a few true points about myself and fix them… well… at leas being able to manage it… Boundaries is one of these points. I am awful with them… and I think the biggest part of my problem is that I don’t really know mine… For example… I am the sort of guy that will travel 200 miles to help a friend, or to meet someone that touches my heart… and I would do that without thinking twice…

See??? I have no idea what my boundaries are… I need to find my limits and make sure I respect them… and to make sure other people respect them too…

THAT is my nightmare… my worst challenge ever in The Journey : To find my boundaries… and to learn to respect them.

This is what moving back to The Attic means to e right now. I had moved to Staines to be closer to the Hayley, the baby and my kids, and at first glance it was great… but then I quickly found myself stepping over Hales’s limits because I couldn’t find mine and ended up stressing her more than helping…

So I am giving one step back to be able to give 2 forward!

We both probably need the space in our heads to be honest…. :)

So here’s what I’m planning to achieve while Im back at The Attic:

  • Finding my own boundaries and limits so I can recognise other peoples as such.
  • Retune my mind and soul… my spirit…
  • Get Action Stations on track!!! That is priority one with baby coming! Specially as it will help me with next step which is
  • Retaking my Ministry… Nope… I am not becoming a pastor… that’t not my call and as so I will not pursuit it… I will however do what I’m called to do!
  • Get my life back in tack!
  • Save on the rent money… (what??? I have a baby on the way… I need the money!!! :-) )

Ho about you? Do you need to give a step back in anything to be able to give steps  forward?

And now my 1st limit… to learn to go to sleep when I feel I need to… hehehehe… any tips??? :-)

Welcome Back to The Attic!!!!!
