Re: Rovingjacks goals to attack
I shall be returning to focusing on some of these things. I got a little sidetracked by other aspects of life for a while. But I've had a few things come along lately that seperately seem just like life events, but together spell out to me that I might just be falling back into a pattern where I suddenly realised I'm reacting to life, not choosing what my life is each day.
That seems like such a small difference, but it's the biggest difference in the world to me. Back when I first got sick I realised I had to live conciously and make every choice part of my identity. I could choose to get stressed by somebody elses stress at work or I can show up at a place I'm employed with the express purpose of helping people and making it so that place is better at the end of the day, even if it's only in subtle ways. The first way is reactionary and lets others dictate what your life is. The second is owning your life and your action in it.
Then too I decided that I would explore things I'd not done before, and test my limits on things to really see that even sick and deminished the human being is an increadable thing.
I need to recenter on those aspects of my life again. I let myself get bogged down in the red tape and complex systems of others, which while sometimes nessesary can become something that infects your entire philosophy binding you as subject to the lives of others and not allowing you to be the focus of your own individual life.

Profound.
Some of us don't want to be the focus. We feel like pulling the covers over our heads. Instead, we immerse ourselves in whatever distractions we can find.
Re: Rovingjacks goals to attack
being the focus of your life doesn't mean that everybody else pays attention or is watching you. It's just a way of saying that in the end of the day, when asked what you did, you can reply with with things you chose or did instead of thing other chose or did to you.
when you wash your hands you are the focus of that sentence. when Sofia had you sort the inbox and take out the trash, Sophia is the focus. which would you rather look back on a life full of?
I don't mean that you cannot do things for others or that it's only about you, but that doing for others and inclusion of others originates from you. That you own yourself and your actions.

I don't think I mistook your meaning. I took it beyond battling bureaucracies and dealing with bosses or a group of coworkers, or whatever of that ilk. Even without a daily struggle out in public, there are many tasks to face and perform. I usually call that "being an adult." So much depends on only me and sometimes I want to hide from all the responsibility. Not merely responsibility to others, but to myself.
It's easier to comment here, for instance, than to open up a manuscript and work on improving it.
