Completion creates freedom.

I was in cleaning/organization mode for three hours last night and four hours tonight. Despite the resulting headache I'm now dealing with, it feels good to finally clean up my messes, create some order to the chaos, and clear some space for me to move about, think, breathe, and relax. I am systematically getting my life back in order, one battle at a time! I tend to focus so much on the idea of ending the war that I often forget that there are so many little battles that I have yet to overcome. Until I am willing to face those battles head-on, the idea of war's end will remain just that: An idea. The more that I complete (battles overcome), the more time, energy, thought, etc. I free up to take on the next task (next battle), and the closer I get to accomplishing the greater goal (end of the war). Funny that I should use the analogy of war to my personal struggle... Against what am I fighting? Do I create resistance and hardship by taking this approach to life? Then again, how many wars have been fought in the name of freedom? Was it not worth the price for freedom? What is another approach I can take? Acceptance? War usually takes on a violent connotation; perhaps my war will be "fought" peacefully. My mind is overrun by paradoxes again... Must be time for bed.
