Just when you think you’ve figured out your path and you’re building momentum, you encounter all sorts of curves, obstacles and distractions and before you know it, you can’t see the forest for the trees. We all become sidetracked from time to time; some for a blink of an eye and others for what seems like an eternity. In either case, the secret for getting back on track is very similar – stop moving, take a conscientious accounting of where you’ve been and where you are, refocus on your goals and point yourself forward. Take one step at a time – no need to rush. You can even give yourself permission to enjoy your distractions; it’s amazing what you can learn when you’re not trying! At the end of the day, it’s really all about the journey isn’t it? After all, if our paths were straight and predictable, we would be bored in a hurry.
I’ve been meandering for a while and now I’m back on my path – the scenery was great along the way but I’m anxious to arrive at my next destination and plot my future adventures. Where is the new year going to take you?
