Sometimes, it IS better not to know. If we were to start counting the cost to get to where we are now, we would have gotten stuck somewhere in the theoretical, the seemingly impossible. "Quit while you're ahead" would have sounded logical.
When we are a little too smart for our own good, we can't realize the strength that grows from struggling, or the satisfaction of accomplishment, or the confidence that comes from succeeding after failing.
The image I selected above tells only part of my message. I want to show a strong, muscled, climber with a backpack, a hat and a walking stick to symbolize the "ready for battle", well-equiped "adventurer". The stairs symbolize the upward progression we should all strive for in life's journey. And the green USA money steps - symbolize what we should NOT aim for. When money is our goal, we are cultivating, among other things, a love for it. "The love of money is the root of all evil." Rather, aim for the loftier things...train up a child, build a community, share, encourage, empower.
When I started Buzzy Beez Giftz, I did not fully realize where I wanted to end up. I still don't. But, the journey has been enriching, exciting, empowering! I still want to take more steps. I have gained more than I have lost.
What's your goal? Are you up for the journey? Remember, if it is overwhelming to look beyond the next step or two, then turn away from that. Just let yourself take one step. This one little step. Be present!
Need a little push or encouragement, or just an ear? Contact me.
