The Gift of Life

There are moments in our lives when we are striving for happiness and success and the goal is clear and visible and yet we end up taking another step, only to find that we are way back, from where we were.  We can berate ourselves for the stupidity of taking a wrong step and we can incur the "wrath" of those close to us, but the reality is that the step has been taken and we are in this place for a reason.  It may be that real clarity can only be attained at a place of crossroads, because you can then see all the directions to go and make the correct choice on which one to take.  Perhaps it may be that you needed input and perspective from another source to make the correct decisions in the correct manner and this could only be attained by challenging the circumstances, even if those circumstances result in some disappointment and confusion.  It may also be that you needed to learn a specific lesson and that this lesson may only be learnt by real reinforcement and perspective.  The distractions and concerns can only be dealt with effectively, if they are understood and fully committed to memory.  However, making a mistake may not be the worst as long as one realises that the positive things in your life and business are far more important than a silly comment or a minor emotional uncertainty.  The quicker you are able to bounce back and refocus will give an idea of how fast you have learn from your mistakes and moved forward, not on, but forward.  Whether you berate yourself, or get some well deserved flack, the true north is finding your way back to the path you have been set and starting to work towards its conclusion.  We need to stop looking at our current circumstances and how they can be fraught with errors, potential risks and diminishing prospects and we owe it to ourselves and the people that have walked a path with us and remained true and committed, to bury uncertainty, insecurities and lack of belief.  The real destination awaits and we need to get about claiming not necessarily the first goal we have, but rather the real goal, which will make our life the meaningful gift that it is.
