You may find yourself on a very
bumpy road and choose to
keep on traveling that same
stretch over and over, believing
there is no other way.
Perhaps you drive your
bus without a navigation
system, which means you are
not listening to your inner
guidance and frequently get
lost and scared.
You may be filling your tank
with bad fuel, which isn’t
very healthy for your engine,
causing backfires, sputters,
and stalls, while causing
your vital parts to get
gummed up with residue
that slows you down.
you are in control. Although
you can’t control the
environment, how slick the
road of life may get under
certain conditions or if other
buses try to get in your way,
you steer your life in the
direction you choose.
Since I
imagine
you want
to avoid the
many and
varied pitfalls
of being on
the road of
life, aside from
being wide
awake at the
wheel, it is vital
that you not let anyone else
drive your bus.
Being a passenger in your
life, and not the driver, will
always leave you unfulfilled,
lost, and void of enjoyment.
That was not what was
intended when your bus
showed up on the road all
shiny and new when you
were born.
I encourage you to map
your course, but to be open
to unexpected side trips,
trusting that wherever you go
you will make the most of it.
Of course, not falling
asleep at the wheel is vital.
Remember that as long as
y ou are alert, taking in all that
surrounds you while listening
to the hum of your engine,
you’ll always enjoy the ride.
Happy travels!
