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…
