The Road To No Where
If you do not know where you are going how are you going to know when you get there? OK, that sounds silly you may say but think about it. If we spend our time walking around this world as wandering generalities there is no way we will ever be the best we can be because our life becomes a circle of hopeless endeavors. Then someday when the end is near we find ourselves reflecting back on a life of missed opportunities.
Let me take this nonsense further. God created in us the ability to think and rationalize. Hopefully as a result of our minds churning at the speed of light we make decisions that keep us moving in the right direction. There are those insane moments though when we act quicker than we think and those are the moments that get recorded in history. People love to remember the negative while forgetting the positive (hopefully no one that is part of the peace movement) When those stumbles occur we create a shell around us that slowly eats away at the thought process until ultimately we become robotic creatures that do the same thing day in and day out because we fear doing something stupid. We are not always conscience that this happens until some time has passed. Next thing you know you are either somewhere you never wanted to be or you are on course to arrive at place that was never part of your life plan. Or worse in your own mind you are no where at all.
Now that paragraph may not make sense to everyone but trust me it does for many. The task is how to break the cycle we find ourselves spinning around in. In life we set up patterns and routines that keep us safe and organized which is a good thing. We must work, eat, sleep, play, etc. There are certain things that simply have to happen. BUT let me just say this and please pay close attention. Most of what we do in life can be changed if it truly needs to be. I hear so many people talk about where they are in life but when I pin them down as to where they want to be they do not know. With that said it is of vast importance to be the best you can exactly where you are. That way when the opportunity to move ahead comes along it will be you that stands out. In life we spend so much time complaining about where we are that we spend all of our energy before we know where we want to go.
God has built in you the ability to do so much more with what you already have. In our family we are surrounded by people that either have big dreams or lost the ability to dream. We can be the positive influence that gives someone the nudge to take a leap of faith. I say that because I believe today we are in a place that can help us to help others find peace and meaning in life. Remember where you are may be the right place. Did you get that? You may be in the right place and it may be you that needs to get the most out of where you are. Life is not by chance at all. Certainly we have a say in what we do and where we go but trust me God does create circumstances at times that shatters the little glass houses we live in. God does not live our lives for us but he sure tries to help us get the most out of it.
I have said enough so let's put a simple plan in place. Agree that you can do better where you are with what you have. As you begin to be the absolute best you can be something crazy is going to start happening inside you. You are going to start believing because you will start seeing. It is like an exercise program that you stick with long enough to see positive results. Your eyes are going to be open and your focus on the beauty of God's awesome creation will become crystal clear. Believe in yourself and believe in God. It is time to be the best you can be. Start now right where you are. Love those close to you, forgive the one's that have trespassed against you, and accept the people that are different than you. Together we can make dreams happen.
