you can hardly do anything. And of course I wasn't deterred! I found a way to work around the pain: hot-water bottles, a footstool to take the pressure off my spine and massage, and I was back in business. That was when something else happened. That's right, the hard-drive on my computer crashed. The computer took a few days to resolve. And I admit there have been times in life when I might have got angry at this point. But this time I didn't - maybe because a distraction occurred. A blinding headache, with stabbing pains. At this point I said, 'I'm giving in. I take the hint. But what might a back-ache, a computer crashing and head-aches have to do with creating havoc? My back relates to movement and balance. When it locks up, it is like a vice - I can't move forward, back, left or right. The computer crashing caused a temporary pause in my work, but not long enough, so the headache came along to force me to take time out from my head, close my eyes and recharge etc. So how can this kind of information be used in the future? Maybe, in the future, when I get backache, I listen to my body and stop long enough to get life back in balance. Perhaps then I won't need to put up with a computer crash or the headache. And looking back a few weeks I can now see the importance of taking the break. This issue has made me consider: what is most important when you're faced with a situation that creates havoc? The answer, I believe, is gratitude. Everything enters your life for a reason. See it as an opportunity to grow. Come to love it. Come to understand it, and you will find it enters and leaves your life more like a ripple than a storm. Embrace the havoc! It has a message for you about who you are. Jo Ball & Neil Millar
