CHARTING OUR COURSE



 
 
Eleanor Roosevelt once said, 'one's philosophy is not best expressed in words; it is expressed in the choices one makes.' So let me ask you, what is your life saying? Many of us are stuck doing jobs we have no passion for, we have been carried along in the current of life. Life is so busy and distracting that we do not take the time we need to examine ourselves, our path, and our choices. We have given up the one great gift we have been given as humans, the ability to engineer our lives. We are so busy keeping our heads above water that we do not take the time to chart our course. John Maxwell admonishes in his book, the invaluable laws of growth, 'If the unexamined life is not worth living, then the unlived life is worth examining.' If you find yourself stuck in a rut, take time to quiet yourself and like a child in his world of make belief, start to create the life you would like to have, one piece at a time. I am not saying this is going to be easy, but don’t you love yourself enough to try?
