the circles

Do you ever feel scattered? Wanting one thing but feeling differently? Feeling something that does not fit into your plan?
Our will/convictions, our emotions and our vision is one big mess in relation to each other sometimes.
I think of it as three different circles floating around.
One circle is everything that you are convicted about. Politics, faith or opinions.
Another circle represents all your emotions. This is (hopefully/normally) the one that changes and floats around the most.
The third one is your future. What you want in life and how you intend to get there. Your dreams and desires.
The three have different shades but the same colour, different moods but the same personality.
The circles always touch each other in at least one area. And this is where you are, the core you. The spot in the middle when they all aline and come together makes you into one person, you.
The closer these three circles are to each other the less scattered you'll feel. If they are so close together that they almost look like one circle you feel peace and harmony. You feel like you are in control. You know what you want, why you want it and your feeligns support and testify it.
But you can't ever lock the circles in one position when you feel like it's under control.
They are constantly flowing in the same speed that your life is passing by.
Your mood changes, your oppinions change and your plans change. And they are supposed too, because we are meant to be growing.
But the better you get at lining them up, the more at peace you will be.
The more room you get for the core you to relax and you don't feel pulled apart in different directions by the very base.
No wonder we have identidy crisis sometimes. Those are the times when the circles are pulling in different directions and there is only enough room for the core you in the middle to try and hold the three circles together.
Some people pick only one circle and tries to aline the other two to it. Most people nowdays pick their emotional circle. As soon as they feel a certain way their convistions and their future plans changes and tries to keep up. But why would you pick the circle that changes the most then?
I don't think we should choose one at all, however I believe we need to have one in majority over the other two. I believe the one in majority should be our convictions.
But like I said, we shouldn't pick unless we must. We should stay in the middle and try to listen to and bring them all together. Three combined into one is far better.
