Opting for the Easy Road?

Did you ever make one of those decisions that seemed like "This is the one!" It's gonna be a life changer! And then everything hits the fan. I mean everything! Life goes upside down, a family member goes to the hospital, your mate leaves town to help and circumstances don't tell you when they'll be back, work is boring, the car breaks down, and you can't find your credit card. You long for the safe road, the easy highway again. But you can't find the right turn and it seems like the directions you have are all wrong.

I think that's because the more than average life requires a fight. I think some call it the good fight of faith. Kind of like you only get stronger with exercise. You work against the resistance and that makes you a stronger more fit person. You believe there will be better days.

"Safety, comfortable" are the motto words for the average. But this whole journey is about becoming more. Robert Schuller said "Every problem is just a question awaiting an answer." Yeah! In other words. Slow down and think about it! There is a way. Don't opt for the easy road just because life throws you a couple curve balls for a few days. Find the way. Solve the puzzle (I like word finds). That in itself is better than average. Because most people give up. I'm not giving up and neither should you.

David Viscot wrote "If your life is ever going to get better, you'll have to take risks." So risk it, fight against the resistance and discover the the answer to being a bit better. I'm on your side. You are not fighting alone. I believe there's better days ahead.

Oh, and still don't buy a beige car. See you tomorrow.
