I know people take very different views about this kind of thing but I try to understand the meaning behind the patterns I perceive in my life.  I know you can say it is all just random, and it maybe so, but I think the Universe has a way of communicating with us and not only that, but our unconscious finds all sorts of subtle ways to interfere with the plans made by our rational mind.  This week has seen a number of my “best laid plans” upset and meetings which have been long standing have been disrupted and postponed.  The net result is that my rather busy and focused plan for next week has been shot full of holes, and I’m left wondering “Why?”

I truly am not smart enough to understand what is going on or what the higher powers might be trying to steer me towards or away from, and I’m left with a feeling of frustration that my hard earned momentum is being stolen from me.  I feel a bit like on of those African women who have to walk 5 miles to collect water and who discovers their container had a small leak.

There are a number of responses one can have to this kind of situation.  You can get upset and let it throw and upset you.  You can do your best to pick yourself up and make the best of what is left, or you can ask if there is anything that you can use or learn.  I guess it is fair to say that I have done all three.  The thing is that this kind of disruption to your plans can affect businesses as easily as individuals and the way you deal with disruption to your plans is critical.  Change strategies often founder on just these rocks.  I believe that it is important to take the time to read ‘the runes’ and to ask what they are telling you.

“Mankind is notoriously too dense to read the signs that God sends from time to time. We require drums to be beaten into our ears, before we should wake from our trance and hear the warning and see that to lose oneself in all, is the only way to find oneself.”
