A man was traveling and stopped at an intersection. He asked an elderly man, "Where does this road take me?" The elderly man asked, "Where do you want to go?" The man replied, "I don't know." The elderly man then said, "Take any road. What difference does it make?"
How true is this! When we don't know where we want to go, any road will take us there. This is why goals are so important. Whether it be in your Scentsy, Velata, Grace Adele business or in your personal life, you have to have goals and know where you are going or where you want to be. Sometimes we get lost in that journey, and that is 100% OK. It is OK to sometimes stop and ask for directions (despite what I tell Cristalena while we are driving in circles for hours). When you do stop in life and decide that you need directions, you need to make sure you know where it is you wish to be. And most importantly, you need to ask someone who knows how to get you there. Don't spend your time asking people who are lost themselves. That is just like the old saying, "The blind leading the blind".
Start today and make a map for your journey. Just like any road trip, plan your pit stops. Know where each checkpoint is going to be and as you continue on your journey make sure you hit each one. Before you know it, you WILL be at your destination!!!!
This is a real eye opener for me. I may not retire from the military for another 7 yrs but I do need to plan ahead or decide what it is I want to do when I retire. Thank you for the insperation to put a little more pep in my step.
ReplyDeleteRoger, I am glad you found inspiration in this as I did. I too am retiring from the military in (5) years and know exactly where I want to be. It may take me some time to find the right road to get me there, but I will not stop asking for direction until I reach my destination.
