In-Sync

It is a pretty normal feeling, that feeling that you are not quite in-sync. It may be with the world in general, as if you are marching to a different drum than those around you, or you may feel out-of-sync with yourself, the times you live in, the country, cultural group, or family you are supposed to feel a part of.

This out-of-sync feeling we sometimes get is a reminder that in the end, we are ultimately isolated creatures. You can tell others as much about yourself as you can and want to, they still cannot fully know what it is like to be you. Worse, we often don’t even understand ourselves.

So here we are in our billions ,living together on the same planet under the same sun, yet nobody fully understanding anyone else – perhaps the miracle is that we have so many moments where we do feel and behave in-sync.

The concept of us being ultimately isolated creatures may come across as depressing, but think about it, do you really want people to know every little thing about you? Ignorance can be bliss. The question is, do you feel in-sync most of the time, or out-of-sync? And if you feel mostly out-of-sync, is it beginning to interfere with your daily living, your happiness?

A little out-of-sync here and there and from time to time is to be expected, but if it is the rule it is a sign that it is time to give this matter attention. In what area(s) do you feel out-of-sync? How can you re-align?

The feeling of being in-sync with others, at least at times, is a good feeling, it is worth pursuing. And as always, I am happy to pursue it with you.

May your ‘wavelength’ be comfortably close to those you care about,
