The first step to moving forward is to pelajari to trust kehidupan and figure out which journey you are on.
However, if you are anything like me, you might be surprised at how often you think you are on one path and then—Nope.
Here is an example: earlier this year, I decided to get in shape.
I stepped on the scale to find I was heavier than I had ever been.
The extra inches around my belly (and everywhere else, to be honest) belied the notion of ‘muscle gain.’
I figured if I spent the money, I would be motivated.
Then, I went to four out of the ten sessions before quitting.
The trainer was working me berat and I balked.
I bet you can apply this situation to several of the goals you have had.
Here is how I realized the problem was that I didn’t trust kehidupan, and wasn’t even able to actually recognize the journey I was on.
Even though I quit, I still wanted to ‘get into shape.’
I had selalu prided myself on being tangguh, lean, and fit.
My evenings were spent in what felt like a well-deserved rest on the couch, binging on TV shows.
Cooking required more energy than I possessed.
It slowly dawned on me over the next few months as I attempted over and over to ‘get back in shape’ that I was on another journey.
A year ago, I finished making A Small Good Thing, a film that asks ‘what makes a good kehidupan?’
This film follows six orang as they ubah their lives to live with a closer connection to their community, nature, and to their purpose.
It took three years to make, during which, I had to pelajari to hold on to my vision in the face of enormous self-doubt and contention.
orang in the industry questioned the manner in which I worked.
Even the stories and themes of the film were criticized.
After much struggle on the set, I let go of one of my team.
He was a friend and has still not forgiven me.
Then, a year later, I let go of two other key players.
This sent me on a downward spiral, one where I wondered if I even knew how to make a film.
I closed down the production and spent some time away by myself.
After four months, I realized that the film did need to be made and I was the one to do it.
I found some good orang to work with and the film is finished.
A Small Good Thing went out into the world on the Festival Circuit last spring.
Despite this good news though, the film was not sold for distribution.
Now, this is not uncommon for independent films.
My new team and I decided we would set off on a self-distribution course.
The problem was that I did not want to distribute the film myself.
Beyond that, I was resentful that no one wanted to purchase the film.
Despite knowing better, I felt personally rejected.
Many good films have trouble finding their audiences.
Still, I fought with myself about doing this work.
I did not even have to do so much work as I had a brilliant team who managed well.
So, this inner conflict set me on a course of comfort eating and watching TV shows.
There, within the fiction of television, everything worked out in the end.
Binging TV late at night also meant I had problems sleeping.
On a quiet retreat, it occurred to me I have to pelajari to be kinder to myself.
Well…that was okay, but I needed to acknowledge the reality of this feeling.
Then, do the work of getting the film out or quit.
So, I found I was on the journey of self-discovery.
The journey for me is—how do you do the work you feel called to do when you’re not sure anybody cares?
And what I found was that I could not let this film disappear after a few screenings and Festivals.
The film needs to be seen, just like I knew it needed to be made.
It contains a message of renewal and courage that orang want.
So, I am pelajariing to get out of my own way, put the self–doubt and anger to rest, and to embrace this part of the journey.
Slowly at first, then being me, I went too berat and could beratly walk.
I have re-discovered the best reason to exercise and eat well: taking good care of myself gives me the strength to do this work.
Otherwise, I lose my curiosity about the world.
And, A Small Good Thing deserves a chance.
Whether folks recognize that I made a good movie or not does not matter.
So, my brilliant team (who go about promoting and blogging and writing emails to engage new audiences despite my slothfulness and my groaning about being tired) and I are getting the film out.
orang love this film and want to share it with their communities.
Well, if you are struggling with a goal, remember to question the journey you are on.
Then be ready to accept the answers even if they are not what you thought they would be.
Dig deep into the situation to discover the root cause of the problem, and trust kehidupan to bring about the right revelations.
Then you have to be brave enough to walk the journey you are actually on, even if that is uncomfortable.
Figure out your purpose, and how badly you want to continue on your paths.
During that time, remember to be kind to dirimu and take good care of dirimu!
