Everything And The Kitchen Sink

There is so much happening in the world right now. There is so much happening right down to your own neighborhood, to your own home. I have never seen a more disheveled time. Dictators wanting to attack other countries. Lawmakers playing political meandering of their party, and not taking care of the people. Friends and family at odds with each other to the highest degree I have ever know in my lifetime. It feels like everything and the kitchen sink is about to overflow and burst. So many issues, so few solutions. Everyday life is tough enough. Get up, go to a job, just over broke job, work 10 plus hours, come home, eat a not very healthy meal, watch crap on the news for an hour that you couldn’t digest in a week. Go to bed sore and dead tired just so you can get up and do it again. And think to yourself, man how did I get here?

There is so much garbage being thrown around that there is no escape. The rotten, smelly, slimy gunk has landed on us and trying to escape the stench seems almost impossible. Life feels pretty heavy and that’s just on a personal level. On the national level our leaders have exalted themselves and thrown everyone else into the dirty dish water. We are struggling as a people, as a nation, as a world and I don’t see things getting better. But I still have hope. I do. I have hope for the human condition to create love, to create friendship, to create awareness and enlightenment. With everything and the kitchen sink it may seem like it’s all a big mess and it is but that’s where the cleanup has to start. Pick one thing and deal with it. Then another. Then another. And before you know it everything is cleaned up and back in order. It’s a chore for sure but it’s worth it.

I get overwhelmed much of the time and I have come to realize that is all within my control to change or continue. For me, it’s not hard to see the light, it’s hard to run to the light. I start walking and get distracted, or I get lazy, and then I’m off track and have to take the long way around, again. If I could run to the light and fully immerse myself in what I truly want I believe it would cut off a lot of the unnecessary tasks that I burden myself with. But like I said, I first have to pick one subject and put it in order and then the next because if I don’t, I easily get overwhelmed and I’m back to the kitchen sink. It’s not the everything and the kitchen sink is bad, it’s just a ton of extra stuff that comes along with that can hold us in bondage and we never fully reach our potential. I encourage you to step up to the sink, see what it is, pick one thing to deal with and let the others soak for another day. One task completed builds the momentum to build anything you desire. Shall we begin?
