STEPPING STONES

I wrote this several years ago on another blog. I stand by this wisdom everyday.




Life is full of ins and outs 
and ups and downs. 
Truly rocky roads. 
And if we let it, 
life will dictate everything we do. 
Step by step, our lives can play out 
in a pattern that is set 
by circumstances and habit. 
We often get complacent 
and fall into routine; 
causing us to lose the 
excitement and thrill that 
we had looked forward to 
when life was new and 
the future stretched out in front of us. 
If we don't take the reins at some point, 
we forget that the best part of life....
is living it. 
When we stop letting the years slip by 
and we finally gain control; 
setting a new course, 
taking a leap of faith in ourselves. 
We need to press on, to continue on new paths,
one stepping stone at a time, 
picking the forks less traveled.
We need to live the life we always hoped for. 
Never again giving into the the 
regret of standing still.


Take the stepping stones of your life.
