YOU CAN MAGAZINE Volume 2 | Page 64

A THOUGHT YOU CAN MAGAZINE LIFE IN KNOTS? Life is good when you’re sailing smoothly along. Everything seems to be going okay. Then BAM! Out of nowhere, something goes horribly wrong. Maybe you don’t get that job you wanted or you suddenly find yourself single again. Perhaps you weren’t selected as the lead in the play or got passed over for a promotion. Whatever it is, it happens to us all. When things are going well for us in our lives, it is like we are climbing up a smooth stretch of rope. But when things don’t go our way, it seems like that smooth and easy rope has been coiled up and kinked into a massive knot. Now that knot is choking up the process, blocking our way to climbing to the top. Impeding us from reaching our goals. Quite literally, it becomes a kink in our plan. So now what? Climb it! Every time a knot forms in your rope, use it to climb to your next step. In gym class knots are made in rope to allow us to grip our feet better so that we can climb higher and higher. Life has literally built you a ladder when it gives you knots. Keep climbing and climbing. You’ll eventually get to exactly where you are meant to be. Maybe Knots Aren’t So Bad… We don’t advocate smoking but we love tattoos…
