Up All Night: Breaking Spinning Plates

from Leaning Toward Wisdom

“The only way to learn how many plates you can spin is to break some plates. The question of capacity guarantees failure.”        – T.S. Elliot He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain what he cannot lose.  – Jim Elliot (no relation to T.S. that I’m aware of) I’m not a plate-spinner. I am able to multi-task, but it’s not actually multi-tasking at all. It’s really intense focus on a single thing with enough speed to get a number of things accomplished over a short period. That makes it look like multi-tasking. Themes of the week have been: Self-control or self-regulation – manifested in the struggles people have with porn addiction, marital infidelity, alcohol, work, parenting, unruly children, loneliness and more Capacity and resources – what’s our limit? Congruency – frustration in hearing people (often bosses) say one thing, but do something completely different Failing to figure out how or where we fit – not understanding why or how we’re making a difference / wondering if we are I’ve got too much going on – too many irons in the fire. I’m working on it and I’ll share more.
