You know what buddies, I just can’t stop thinking how too often our minds are locked on one path. We are looking for red – so we over look blue.

I have read a beautiful quote from John Turner that states, Nobel prizes have been washed down the drain because some one did not expect the unexpected. WOW!

Let’s think about it this way, a mountain watercourse that flows down the peak often has to alter from year to year. Fallen branches, dead leaves and dislodged rocks can make the mountain change from season to season. So each season the water must form a different path on its journey to the valley.

Imagine that… there is a different path for each season.

How like the stream are you? I want to encourage you to think of this day as the landscape on the mountainside of your life. You are the stream. If you had a choice, would you look for the path that keeps you deep-rooted in well-known and unproductive ways of doing things? OR would you be willing to flow down a new path – one that holds unpredictable twists and turns that may encourage you to approach things differently?

Please understand that life involves change. So the possibility of doing things the same way over and over again is nearly impossible. While the predictable path may feel more comfortable, it goes against the nature of change and growth. The unpredictable course however flows with nature, as it guides you to a viewpoint that’s focused on flexibility rather than resistance.

I hope you choose to be flexible as water. I pray that you become more enthusiastic to explore the unpredictable path of your live.

Big Hugs
Kat
