The Faster Pace Means "Sometimes You Just Need to Steer"

Life in the fast paced world we live in now, can at times seem like it is taking chunks out of us as it passes us by, but I like to think of it all as a refining process. It's like "life in a rock tumbler." It is inevitable that some rough edges will get knocked off and in the end we'll be a smoother version of ourselves, even shinier. The problem for many is that they misunderstand the bumps and grinds as misfortune and go about it with a gloom and doom attitude instead of thinking, "Oh yeah, there goes another rough edge, ouch, didn't need that one either."

Sounds kind of goofy but so does sitting next to someone in a waiting room somewhere listening to them whining as if they were a 10 year old talking about how they can never get a break, when all around them are people worse off than them and people with more problems making a better go at it.

I do not want this to become a rant. It is what it is; my version of why "bad things" seem to happen to good people. Because what we call "bad things" are just things and they happen to all of us, and they are part of the process of getting back to our starting point better for the journey.

I am grateful for all of it, the journey is more exciting that way, and in fact, Joy should never be our goal, but instead should be our chosen method of travel. Peace Be The Journey.
