What on Earth?

  It's been very interesting talking to people recently. I am not sure a single one knows where they are in their lives right now. It is as if a massive underground shift is taking place and the conscious awareness of this is that we are all waking up every morning and wondering "What on earth am I doing here?"
  In part this is because the landscape is literally changing before our eyes. You only have to go to your local high street to see the closures and boarding over of shops that have been well established for years. For many individuals the changes are manifesting as a volvanic eruption as jobs go and relationships break up. For others it's more like feeling the tremours of an earthquake and feeling a certain nervousness about where to place one's next step as the ground could quite simply give way beneath your feet whilst those previously firm walls around you now appear to be no more secure than a house of cards. 
  Having gone through so many changes in my life, I now tend to be more anxious when things remain the same for a while! This does not mean I am complacent about change but I am able to distance myself to some extent. I feel that no matter what I have been through in the past, I did survive, somehow! In fact I often think I must be made of rubber as I seem to bounce back and just have to learn to live within a different environment. That of course is easier said than done. I know. Often it takes years to readjust and to gain a sure footing again.
  The best way to gain that foothold is to only listen to positive people who have your best interests at heart. I don't mean those who jump in with advice thinking they know best when actually all they are doing is feeding you their own fears. I mean people who really listen, acknowledge your anxieties and can empathise with you. They don't necessarily have answers because the how and wherefore is different for everyone but they are able to support you through validating your experiences and giving you hope. This in itself opens your mind to new possibilites and thence to new experiences.
  So next time you ask "What on earth am I doing here?" check with the people who really care about you not with those who are happy to bring you down!

You were musing on competition, timing and the Olympic Games. Having been a fencer for a large part of my life as participant, mother of successful youth foilist and wife to two Maitre d'Armes then as a County Coach, I have to agree that competition is not all. However, the sense of "success" and the feeling of having "failed" are great tools for self discovery and unfolding personality in young people. What are these words and what do they really mean? Not a lot in the accepted perceived vocabulary.
Timing now, well that's another matter as you point out. One can have all the tools in the game, all the techniques and the fittest physique possible but without timing all is often lost and I have watched at Competitions all over Europe and the UK. This timing, which allows the Game of Life to flow smoothly, comes from deep inner connection to one's Self and the sense of listening at every moment, yet not as a conscious action, more of an awareness in one's being. Quite magic on occasions, something to be experiences and never to be let go.
All Love to All

Thank you for your considered comments Margaret. It's always good to hear real life experiences and how they can be used to gain great insight into situations.
I agree that "success" and "failure" are words that are bandied about inappropriately and tend to imply either 'greatness' or 'worthlessness' neither of which are helpful in and of themselves. Every thing is relative and just a stage in our personal evolution. Added to this of course we may be 'great' at one task and absolutely 'useless' at another but this should never negate our overall sense of worthiness!
Timing is an interesting factor in our lives. When we are 'in the flow' we are not aware of time and can execute amazing feats in an unconscious manner. At other times everything is a mammoth effort. For everything there is a season and patience can often be the best use of our time when it all appears to be an uphill struggle!
