Is The Ride Getting Bumpy?

We boarded the plane just like any other time.  Getting ready to "hurdle" through the air in a tin box with 1,000 other people, heading to the same town in Texas.

It takes forever to get those big jets loaded up and ready to take off.  We stored our stuff in the over head and sat down.  We were in the rear of the plane so we knew it would take a while.

Finally at last we were air born.

Little did we know that the air was pretty unstable that day.  There were storms a brewing all along the way.  We were in for a 4 hour roller coaster ride.

The first bumps started about 20 minutes after take off and I didn't take them very seriously because I knew we would move away from the area and things would smooth out right?

Wrong!  It just got worse.  Reading was impossible so it was a good thing there was a movie playing but even that got a little bit blurry.

As the ride got bumpier and bumpier I noticed that I was taking note of the emergency exits and their proximity to us.

You see I was thinking like many do in this day in age.  If the ride gets bumpy, Jump ship.........Okay, that would be a long "jump"

When things get a little bumpy in your life do you hang in there and know that it will pass?  Or are you looking for the nearest and easiest exit?

I got a hold of myself and decided that it didn't matter where the exits were because I was there for the entire ride and there was no way it was going to end early.

Take charge of the bumpy times and ride them out because what is on the other side is worth waiting for.  Truly successful people never let the bumps get in the way, heck they don't even let mountains get in their way.

Don't let your fear take control of your life, be the master of your fear because you don't want fear to be driving your life, business or emotions.

Take a deep breath and then another, face your fears straight on, and those little "bumps" well that's what they are just little bumps!

How are you growing?

I was in the yard this weekend admiring the way the yard looked. The garden is getting to the end and it will be time to take it down soon.

I walked over by the fire pit and looked at the decorative grass growing in the planter right next to it.

We had the entire landscape done about two years ago and it was all put in at the same time. I loved the decorative grass but I noticed that two out of the three were much bigger.

I thought this was interesting. All of the grasses have received the same water, the same amount of sun. They get fed and fertilized the exact same way. So why were two of them so much bigger? The smaller one wasn't diseased at all, it looked just as healthy as the larger ones.

It made me wonder why some people just seem to stay in the same place year after year, never seeming to grow in any way. We all have the same chance in life to make something happen and to move forward. Yet there always seems to be someone you have known at one point in your life that seems to be in a time warp.

It isn't always easy or comfortable to grow and to get what you need. Maybe if this little plant had grown faster then it would be able to grab it's portion of the sunshine.

Each time you delay, another moment passes where no action is taken and soon everyone around you will be bigger and will eventually block out the sun. Making it harder for you to gain back what you need to go forward.

DON'T GET BEHIND, Catching up is hard to do. Do something today to move forward and make your life better. The more time you waste procrastinating could be time that spent moving forward. Find out how we managed to break free at
