Inspirational Words on the Journey of Life
Picture the world before there were roads. The choices of which direction to travel were not confining. Actually, they were limitless.
You still have limitless choices. It may not feel like it at times but we choose to be on the road we travel.
Take the high road. When you find yourself at the crossroads, take the better path. If the best path does not present itself to you, blaze your own trail. Leave the world better roads.
Be aware. Choose the best. Leave a great trail.
We re-travel many paths in our cycles on the winding road. The repetition of our patterns adjusts our expectations.
“I know this path!”
“I know this place!”
“I know this person!”
“I know this deal!”
Our expectations become reality. Until they don’t.
It seems that the traffic is worse when you are in a hurry. It rains only when you leave your umbrella.
Expect the unexpected. Welcome the unknown. Live today like no other day.
Stop along the way and enjoy a wonderful meal. If you are blessed, share it with great company. If you are on a winning streak, engage in a meaningful exchange of ideas.
Inevitably, the magic moment ends and the winding road awaits. Remember to hold on to your leftovers.
Savor your leftovers. Take the time to relive the beauty of a moment passed. Remember exquisite experiences.
Live. Share. Reflect.
There is so much to do. There are so many places to be. We better go! How fast can we get there? There is nothing like a good shortcut. When it comes to point A and point B, there’s almost nothing better than a shortcut!
I have taken many shortcuts over the years; side streets, business processes, bureaucracy, and even cliff-notes. Before you take the short-cut, ask yourself what you are “shorting”. When I used cliff notes (back in my schools days) I “shorted” my experience of the book. I skipped the valuable part of the ride to allow a quick stop from point A to point B.
Before darting down that short-cut, consider exactly what you are “shorting” yourself. If your focus is solely aiming at Point B, you just may turn your experience into a big blur, possibly missing the value of the ride.
