#466 Exactly like myself.

Today I realized that I’ve been feeling exactly right for a while now. Exactly like myself.

That’s awfully obtuse, huh? By that I mean—it feels like everything in my life is clicking. I know that even saying it out loud begs for disaster, but I wonder if everyone feels this way sometimes? It’s sort of like this… For a while things can be really good, but not exactly right. Like maybe, “things are good right now, but if I were exercising more like I’m supposed to I would probably be sleeping better and having more energy every day,” or “business is good, but if I were doing more creatively satisfying work it would be better.” You know, I guess everyone has their “buts” and “ifs.”

Today while I was taking my walk with Coldplay’s Life in Technicolor II reverberating loud and clear in my ears, I couldn’t think of a single thing that’s wrong. I have no worries today. Nor have I had any for a while now.

It’s like when many days feel like this:

Lately it feels like this—clear, focused and aligned:

And at times like this I know it’s because I’m right where God wants me to be. All the prayer and asking for his guidance has been fulfilled. I know it won’t be like this forever, life will keep changing and so will the path we’re on, but I know that as long as I’m listening and have clear eyes and a focused heart, everything is going to line up just right.
