Where To From Here

"Success is not a matter of getting it right every time. Success comes from continuing to persist until you eventually get it right." - Unknown

The phrase "where to from here" is a question you hear often enough or even ask yourself plenty of times. You reach a point in your journey of life where you wonder what to do next. The same can be said about achieving a goal. Either way, you run out of steam or ideas and now you are just not sure what to do.

Richard Bach said, "There are no mistakes. The events we bring upon ourselves, no matter how unpleasant, are necessary in order to learn what we need to learn; whatever steps we take, they're necessary to reach the places we've chosen to go."

So the decision of "where to from here" should not be all that hard. It is in the continual movement you will reach your destination.

Your past will have taught and given you a certain instinct on which path to follow. Do not be afraid that it might be the wrong path. Consider each path, a path of learning. Each day, each experience, each road we take teaches us more.

There will be those people who have seemingly taken a straight and direct path to their success. But if you really chart their personal map in life, you find it filled with many of the turns and detours you have taken.

The notable thing is they never stood still for very long.

You may be right here on your map of life, but the only place to "go from here" is in any direction. Just keep moving.

And stay inspired my friends.

New Game Or Continue

“When you are in the valley, keep your goal firmly in view and you will get the renewed energy to continue the climb.” ~Denis Waitley

The game is played and you reach a point in which failure occurs. Mario couldn't jump the deep gorge; the race car veered off course; maybe the wall of Tetris bricks fell down around you. When this happens, you get two choices presented. One selection is to start a "NEW GAME", while the other option is to "CONTINUE".

Similarly in the game of golf, if you flub a swing, you have the opportunity for what is called a mulligan. Some call it a do-over or something that allows you to take another swing at the ball.

Yet when it comes to life, we only get this one to live. We can't start over our lives in order to avoid mistakes made. What we have is the ability to continue on with our life. All we have to do is make changes in how or what we are doing and then press the "CONTINUE" button.

Keep your eye ahead of you, towards the road further on. Find a different path, find a different way and continue on with your life. A NEW GAME may not be possible, but a NEW WAY is.
