ENJOYING THE JOURNEY EVERYDAY

Sometimes there is a time lag between our vision and its manifestation. In fact, there is often a long time lag. We each move forward at our own pace. Some people are able to know their passion or goal immediately and carry out all the necessary steps right away in order to get there. They are focused, determined and won't allow any distractions or human conditions to get in the way. They aren't always the healthiest people either.

Lucky for those who can easily manifest and in some areas we are better than others, but there are also those things that come up in life that side track us and make us fall back a few yards. Injuries, family emergencies, important events of loved ones, etc. These are the things that force us to set down our goals and focus on something or someone else. Injuries make us stop right away unless we ignore them (in which case they will only get worse). They are telling us that we need to rest and have pushed ourselves to the point of injuring our bodies, or that we are rushing and over committed and therefore fall or trip. Illness also makes our whole world stop and our focus changes. If our illness creates pain then all we can think of is getting rid of it.

Life doesn't let us walk in straight lines, although I've known a few people who must always stay on track at the expense of everything else. They are the most rigid people of all and are often the most physically, mentally and spiritually unhealthy, too. They might appear to be outwardly successful but they aren't balanced. They tend to be lonely because people and relationships weren't a priority in their lives.

Life is a fluid process. Success isn't defined by reaching the goal. Success is finding joy and balance in the everyday process toward the goals. It's finding joy and happiness even when things are rotten and we can't move in the direction that we wanted. We need to redefine success and then we will all realize that we are quite successful at living life.
