LIFE’S PATH

ONE MORE JOURNEY AROUND THE SUN


Life is a journey to be experienced full of adventure, love, hope and human kindness—not a destination as we follow our bliss.  And it’s also about the company that joins us along the way and walks beside us at every fork in our path.  Some enter for a reason, a season or a lifetime.  And some of the most challenging paths lead to the most satisfying moments.  Take the road less traveled at times to discover serendipity.  

 

We should always be looking forward and charting a path, but always testing the winds of fortune to find alternate routes.  Embrace change and the journey into the unknown because change is the only certainty and resistance is futile.  Triumphs encourage us and disappointments strengthen our resolve.  There may even be a few occasions when we need to turn around and walk it back.

 

Everyone’s path is different, so we must be wary of judging others.  If we take the time to walk their path for a while, we may find our judgement dissolving.  And if we’re paying attention to the challenges and the people we encounter, we’ll never lose if we don’t lose the lessons learned which help to develop our spiritual character.  That’s the human job description.  

 

Understand the difference between seeking temporary happiness and eternal joy.  Joy is found internally while happiness is based on external things.  Every waking day is a new creation and a new opportunity.  People that know you today as you have matured know a much different person than you were in the past.  Live life so that you can reflect on yours at any time and smile.  Enjoy the ride because paths were made for adventurous journeys!  

 

In the end, we keep only the good memories of our journey on a short leash and leave only footprints on the hearts of those we’ve loved to accompany along life’s path.
