Experience matters

Experience life’s adventures! Pick a destination and travel to mountain tops with vistas of beautiful sunrises and sunsets or of deep valleys with rocks difficult to climb. You can walk on the beach experiencing gentle waves or feel the pounding waves flowing onto the beach, each beautiful. The choice can be either breathtaking or frightening. Epictetus said over two thousand years ago, “Men are disturbed not by things but by the views which they take of them.” How we look at these changes will determine how we feel and where we choose to set our feet on our continuing path through life.

Life is not straightforward. When an event, either in our life or in another’s, affects us and a course correction is required; an evaluation and restructuring of our thoughts and behaviors will be the catalyst for developing a new set of goals. How do we plan this change and what tools will be necessary to be successful in the new plan? The tools necessary, the people we need in our life, and the location we determine is the best fit for what we want individual pieces that will allow our plan to come together to successfully move us forward.
