Direction

How important is to know where you are going? How vital is the direction you move in?  I wonder sometimes if most people get this...  I’ve met people who have a destination in mind and I’ve also met people feel like their life is moving in the right direction.  However, I think many people end up wasting years of their lives (and ministries, respectively) because they have one or the other.  So you know where you’re going? That is awesome! Then what are you doing to get there? Who and what things are you aligning yourself with in order to arrive at that destination? Trust me.... The people that you align yourself with influence you in ways that you might not even realize until it has completely derailed your vision.  What organizations are you associated with?  Are they moving along the same path as you?  I believe that, generally speaking, many of the things that we attach ourselves too, actually slows us down.  I like the idea of being lean and mean when it comes to vision.  Tawana and I made the decision to prune a lot of things that we like in order to get to our destination.  Now, what about those who don’t know where they are going but feel like they are moving in the right direction..... Seriously??!!!!  So how’s that working for you? I know people who just like to get in the car and drive with no destination in mind. You know, just kind of meander.  Ok, that might be cool on vacation but to live life that way is unprofitable and, my guess is, unsatisfying.  Driving isn’t my favorite past time so I want to get to a destination as quickly as possible... So my point is this.... Look at your life. Honestly!  Get a vision of your destination then start moving in the right direction.  Take the steps needed.  Align yourself with the right people and watch your life begin to change.  God placed a seed of greatness in you!  Don’t let it be wasted.  Life without a destination is boring.  And a destination without any movement in it’s direction is never realized.  Hmmmm... Just a thought. (maybe I need a vacation :)lol
