Just because your Road Changes, Doesn't mean your Destination does

We human beings are very emotional creatures and that is a gift and a curse. It is a gift because when good things happen to us or go according to plan we have the ability to stride in great confidence. Yet when the opposite occurs we have the ability to create a self inflicted paralysis. The more I live life, I realize that life is really a complex phenomena. There are no absolutes except the Most High. And the only thing close to an absolute within our realm that we can control is our own personal tenacity. I say all that to say this, when you catch a glimpse of your destination, don't fret when the means by which you thought you would get there change. There are several ways to get to the same destination. It is our job to stay focused on the final destination even when the road changes. This is where tenacity, our semi-absolute, comes into play. You must continue to hold on to the steering wheel of your vehicle on the road of life. When a change occurs on your path, DO NOT, I REPEAT DO NOT, just get careless because then you run the risk of crashing and burning. Hang on to the wheel and follow the new road, you may come to find that it is better than the previous one you were on.
