A Bend In The Road Is Not The End Of The Road
Have you ever had a time in your life when everything was
going well and then all of a sudden, and it seems out of the middle of nowhere,
everything changes?
When circumstances are not favorable, when someone else
harms you, when your dreams are dashed in front of your face, and when you are
not sure if you have what it takes, take a step back and clarify your purpose
and determine if your daily actions are taking you in the direction of that
purpose. It is hard to see the picture when you are in the frame, so take a
step back, take time to evaluate and look from different angles.
Nick Vujicic teaches: "You need to determine what it is
in life that you can control and what you cannot control. The things you can
control, start making changes in those areas today. It is about turning
obstacles into our next opportunity. It is about having a purpose stronger than
fear, because a clearly defined purpose will offer courage to keep
trying."
That which we persist at doing gets easier, not because the
nature of the thing has changed but because our ability to do it has increased.
Any achievement worth pursuing will almost always, if not always, have
challenges along the way. And so when you face a major bend in the road ahead
it will require adjustment indeed, but it does not mean that the road has
ended, and it may in fact be the start of your next great opportunity. You see,
some people think that you just have to live the life that you are dealt. I
believe that you can shape your life according to your desires.
To ponder this week: A bend in the road is not the end of
the road, unless you miss the corner.
