Limbo

twenty fifth Jan 2012 | Comments Off on Limbo Limbo When I was a management advisor I hated my job, but at a low stage of hatred. It was by no means unhealthy sufficient for me to take a daring decision. So I carried on, spiralling into the following loop: 1. I hate this, I must move on 2. Move on to do what? three. Something to do with my strengths… 4. What type of factor do you have in mind? 5. Erm. Psychologist? 6. That’s 5 years full time study! Do you really need to be poor? 7. But I can’t do that for the remainder of my life! eight. So what do you want to do? 9. Erm. Start my own enterprise? 10. IN WHAT??? Then would trudge again to work, life would take over and a few months later I would think: 1. I hate this, I must move on… This state of limbo lasted greater than three years, throughout which I took two sabbaticals to ‘discover myself’ (I discovered myself primarily watching sport and ingesting), obtained fats, tried to arrange a property company in a half arsed method, then unsurprisingly misplaced a deposit on a flat in Hungary, toyed with establishing a cricket coaching firm , and even tried to set up a bar in Bow. None of those options did I look at properly or critically. They were non-selections. Simply distractions from limbo. Each time I looked into psychology I felt too old to alter, too scared of shedding all my cash and too short of ideas to make it work. I was lost, so I went again round the cycle many times. That was limbo. But because it seems limbo was my lowest level. As soon as I recognised it I was previous the worst. Once I might recognise th e sample I might start to make selections again as a result of the strain was off. What I was doing wasn’t working. Recognise that?
