Journey – To boldly go where no man has gone before. Looks like the old theme of Star Trek became real yesterday for NASA when New Horizons reached Pluto. The planning, monitoring and actions of that team are just amazing. They had to plot a course for the trip, traveling over a billion miles to a planet that is moving in its own orbit is one thing. Then you need to create a space craft that can travel that distance. Then you need to develop a communications system to send signals back. Oh the list of planning is so huge. The actions to create everything and get things moving were also huge. However, I feel the biggest part is monitoring, yes they had to monitor the travels and make course corrections along the path.
Maybe you are not into space travel and you are wondering what does this have to do with you. It truly is never about the plan it’s all about the journey. If you plot your course and everything is planning and waiting for that someday you have missed the journey. You know the someday I will thoughts. I have heard thousands of times, when I retire I will do this or I will go to xyz place. When the kids are in high school I will do… The funny part of life is it is full of surprises; you need to be flexible and adjust the course over your journey.
Focus is key for a plan, but you can’t be too rigid on the path.
There is a story that tells this better. I read it somewhere but can remember to source.
A man went down a road and fell into a pit and had a hard time getting out.
The next day that man went down the same path and fell into the pit again.
The next day the man tried to go around the pit and still fell in.
The next day the man tried to jump over the pit, but fell in.
Finally the next day he chose a different road.
I hope this helps you understand the journey is important, but when it takes you down the wrong path you need to adjust and change course. I know yesterday we enjoyed our success, however, some of you thought what success in freedom. Just adjust your course and you will get there very soon.
Much joy and love to you and yours
