Direction and unblocking

What happens when we have joined sufficient dots is the development of a Vision, a goal, a direction. We can only navigate when we have the big picture. We then begin the task of prioritising, unblocking our internal resistance to change. We can stop running like a chicken without its head. Stop being a house divided against itself.

Have you ever met someone who says they want to do something but just cant seem to get it done? They seem to be pulled in every direction. No priorities, no direction. Of course that is an extreme case. But you will find elements of it in our players too. That conflict, when we need focus.

Unblocking also means to change whatever it is that is preventing us from reaching that goal. I mean the change inside us, not in our surroundings. Dont wait for that to happen. It doesnt work. I mean develop that ability to take on adversity.

That also means to learn whatever we need to learn to finish the race. That drive. Could that be what we are missing? When we only look at the technical and keep our eyes there, arent we missing too much? Isnt that escapism? Too scared to join the dots and really look at what it takes. Could that be why we are still where we are? Now we are losing a patron. Is that a good thing? Can this be when we start to stand up for ourselves, look at ourself and fight for what we want. Or are we going to say, oh dear, the patron is gone and we are so helpless. Is that the spirit that gives birth to a GM?
