When I finally realized I was not enjoying my life, I had to make a quality decision to find out what was wrong and rectify it. This decision demanded learning new ways of handling situations.

I have come to the conclusion that there is nothing as tragic as being alive and not enjoying life. I wasted much of my own life because I did not know how to enjoy where I was while I was on the way to where I was going. Life is a journey, everything in it is a process. It has a beginning, a middle and a end. All aspects of life are always developing. Life is motion, without movement, advancement and progression. Once a thing has ceased to progress, it is dead.

In other words, as long as you and I are alive, we are going to be going somewhere. We are created by God to be goal oriented visionaries. Without a vision, we become bored and hopeless. We need to have something to reach for, but in reaching toward what lies ahead in the future, we must not lose focus of now!

We are always heading somewhere spiritually, and we should be enjoying the journey. Seeking God’s will for our lives, allowing Him to deal with us about attitudes and issues, desiring to know His call on our lives and yearning to fulfill it.

We must learn to seek the next phase in our journey without despising or belittling the one in which we currently find ourselves.

In my own spiritual journey, I finally learned to say, " I’m not where I need to be, but thank God, I’m not where I used to be. I’m okay, and on my way!"
