“Let me not think of my work only as a stepping stone to something else, and if it is, let me become fascinated by the shape of the stone.” ~ Ze Frank
How often are you focused on the end result? I admitted in Friday’s post that being focused on the destination is where I often live, unfortunately, not always enjoying the beauty of the journey.
And what about these stepping stones? The bits and pieces along the way helping to take us from point A to B and from B to C. How insignificant the stepping stones appear. Even annoying or bothersome at times.
However, these stepping stones have been so cleverly placed on our path. Without them, no progress would be made and that oh-so desperate end goal would never be realized.
Take a moment and stop. For today, do not rush. Do not stumble. Deliberately sit on your stone. Discover its ridges, its curves. Become fascinated by its shape.
Ultimately, Trust you are where you’re supposed to be.
Well that’s right on the mark, exactly what I needed today. I think I’ll go find a nice stone to put on my desk today. Love Nadia
Nadia, you have NO IDEA what your comment above sparked. Please tune in tomorrow!! I promise it will put a smile on your face! (I can’t seem to wipe mine off!)
And btw, I hope you find just the right stone.
I did. (hint)
Love,
