Hiatus

When we go on a hiatus from a project, it can be one of two reasons. One is that we get busy with other things, and the other is that we’re exhausted and we need a break. A hiatus, nonetheless, can help give us perspective, allow us to analyze and reflect on our goals and the things that have occupied us.

When we continue to work on something without a break, we believe that that is all there is. It becomes our world, and we spend so much time there that we fail to see that it is just a microcosm of something that is much larger. We don’t see it in relation to the grand scheme of things, but as if it was the grand scheme itself.

As we begin our hiatus, we distance ourselves from the microcosm that became our world. That microcosm could be finances, work, or whatever worries we have. After some distance from it, we realize that its importance and value was really a matter of perspective.
