Are We There Yet???

I am so very excited to write this post I can't even stand it! I was reading from an awesome book, "ASK AND IT IS GIVEN" by Esther and Jerry Hicks and in there they describe what it really means to move toward your direction. It has got to be one of the clearest explanations I've ever heard and so here I share it with you...

"When you drive your vehicle from place to place, you have an awareness of your starting place as well as an awareness of where you are going. You accept that you cannot get there instantaneously; you accept that you will travel the distance, and in time, you will arrive at your destination. And while you may feel anxious to get there, and maybe even tire of the journey, you do not get so discouraged at the midway mark that you must turn around and go back to your starting place. You do not drive back and forth and back and forth from your starting point to the midway pint and then finally collapse from the never ending journey.

You do not announce your inability to accomplish your journey. You accept the distance between your starting place and where you desire to be-and you continue to move in the direction of the destination. You understand what is required-and you do it. And we want you to come to know that the journey between where you are and where you want to be-on all subjects-can be just as easily understood."

How awesome is that? What a clear picture, isn't it? How many times do we set goals, and if we don't see immediate results we just quit...midway? Or how many times do we conjure up hopes for newness in our life and as soon as there is one obstacle, or after only one day do we stop hoping? It is just as silly to do that as it is to turn our car around halfway to the store and complain about how tiresome driving is.

Take this info and run with it. Go for your greatness and don't let up. Know that the journey is just as important as where you are heading, and that if you keep your foot on the gas pedal, you will come to your destination. It is law and must be so.

LEAD FOOT!
