When
life steers you in a new direction. Just hold on tight and enjoy the...Ride. –
Joseph David
Life
is a journey. If you got everything you wanted all at once there would be no
point of living. enjoy the ride, and in the end you'll see these 'set backs' as
giant leaps forward, only you couldn't see the bigger picture in the moment.
Remain calm, all is within reach; all you have to do is show up everyday, stay
true to your path and you will surely find the treasure you seek. – Ritu

Life is 10% what happens to you and
90% how you react to it. – Charles R. Swindoll
Life
is a journey and it is always important to reflect on the highs and lows in a
journey. As we near the end of 2019, it
is a great time to reflect on the year.
When
the author started contemplating her year, she thought about her new job, which
is definitely a high. For her, she could
have thought the apartment fire was a low.
However, she does not look at it that way. The author believes that everything can work
for her good. From the fire, she has a freshly
painted apartment and great friends she met while living at a hotel have
brought about many laughs and an increased knowledge about the United States military.
On
Sunday, the author was listening to a pastor speak on this principle. When something happens, it may seem like the
worst experience in that moment, but we all know that hindsight is 20/20 and
something good probably came from a perceived low in life. It is important to reflect on the whole experience
and not just one moment in time.
As
we wind down the year, look at the highs and lows. Think about what may have been considered a
low in life and find something amazing that came from the experience.
CHALLENGE: Start thinking
about the last year of your life. What
have you accomplished? What obstacles
did you overcome?
