Life isn't always a
smooth ride. There are bumps, wrong turns, and detours along the
way. Oh, life's journey isn't meant to be perfect. Some unexpected
experiences bring amazing joy; others cause significant frustration.
Everything that happens to you is an opportunity to learn and grow.
I believe Albert
Einstein said that doing the same thing over and over and expecting a
different result is the definition of insanity. On the other hand,
plunging ahead into the unknown might not be the best alternative.
Sometimes it's best to
stop and assess your position. Ask yourself where you want to go
from here. Which direction is best for you? What do you want to do
along the way?
Check
your compass. Adjust your sails. Follow your own path.
I
am the master of my fate.
I
am the captain of my soul.
~William
Ernest Henley
Don't
adjust your sails
for
people
who
aren't riding with you.
