I've
been thinking. Yeah, I know that's dangerous. It usually means
something is about to change. Around here that could be anything
from moving furniture to planning an adventure.
My
thoughts are that there should be an easy rhythm to daily life. When
everything is going smoothly, you feel in sync with your
surroundings. There's a sense of peace, joy, accomplishment, and
satisfaction with yourself. That comfort level isn't easy to
maintain, however, because circumstances have a knack for changing
just when you think you're on the perfect path.
Managing
change is crucial to keeping that balance. Change is how you learn.
You have to decide whether to get back on track or head off in another
direction. It's important to set your own itinerary. Try to filter out what
really doesn't matter, what can wait for another day.
Structure
your life to fit your expectations, not those of
others. Fill your time with the things, people, and activities that
make you smile. Remember, it's your path.
“From
anywhere you are, there is a path that will lead you to where you
want to be.” – Ralph Marston
