Staying the Course
Staying the course is something that can be difficult and it takes a lot of faith to stay that course. Whatever that course might be, self doubt, an easier way, or just plain giving up can knock you off the course. My course has been a 30 year course so far. I have been knocked off of my course more than a few times. Luckily I have always found my way back even when I thought that I did not deserve to be back on my course. Truth is I don’t even know where it leads or what lies ahead. I just have to keep my faith that if something keeps bringing me back after so many blows that either knock me off the path or stop me in it.
But how do we know if we are on the right path taking the proverbial right course? Is it a gut feeling something inside of us like an animal instinct? What makes us so sure that the course we are on is the one we are supposed to follow? Is it faith, that we believe we have followed the signs that old what’s his name has left for us? Is it our own will power guiding us in the direction we want to go? How do we know what is right? Could the path with less resistant be the correct one speeding us towards a great reward? The path with resistant could be tying us to make sure that we are worth what’s at the end for us.
It would be nice to have a Key Map threw life to help navigate the blind faith, or the grueling uphill struggles that leave us beaten and almost broken. To know that what lies ahead is what we truly need in our life. I personally would want to know but would be disappointed as soon as I found out.
“Life is about the Journey not the Destination” I am ending on this note that maybe staying the course is just what we do and there is no real end to the course or path we are each on. Maybe we are all just walking a path that twists and turns and bumps into or stalls out around other people and their paths. So we just stay our course and even when we feel we get knocked off maybe we did not maybe it’s still the same course just feels like it changed.
Either way…
