There Are No Ducks
Spark #330 - Stop waiting for life to settle down
If I could just get my ducks in a row.
If I could just figure it out. Get life under control. Then I’d feel better.
I used to think like this constantly. Running a business and raising kids, I kept believing I was one solid plan away from finally feeling settled.
And guess what.
It never happened.
Something always shifted. Plans changed out of the blue. People canceled last minute. Life did what life does.
For a long time, I thought the answer was to get more organized. Stay ahead of it. But the mess and uncertainty kept arriving. That was the part I kept missing.
I stopped waiting for things to settle down and learned to just get on with it anyway.
The ducks aren’t coming.
Stop waiting for them.

Just love this. So true - the ducks are always coming.
I think you could read this 1,000 times and it would still land. The ducks the ducks are calling (the Irish version).. but knowing that the changing plans, the cancelations and the shifts are the ducks just being ducks! What a beautiful way to start the week. Thanks, Cara.
