Can you imagine always traveling on a smooth, straight road with nothing to hold or keep your interest? Same in life. It is sort of like a treadmill. Do you want to get your activity from a machine (nothing wrong with that) or mix it up by hiking, biking or playing a sport? I remember the first time I got on a bike after years of not being able to do that! It was awesome. Nothing like the feeling of wind blowing through your hair as you peddle.
Life is about learning and growing and I feel it never stops. Construction is building and building is good especially when it comes to our lives! Instead of running away from these opportunities, we need to travel with them! See construction as not something to avoid, detour from or ignore; rather see it as a sign that we are figuring out life!
Sometimes we need to embrace the fact that life has bumps, curves, ups and downs; and doing so we stop fighting the construction because we are viewing it differently. It always goes back to perspective. Change how we think and we change how we live. Change how we define success and we might discover that we are already living a life of success. You see, success is more than a measure of material things. It is actually an evolving idea of life that is always under construction.
I have had some , what I call detours. You know.......the little things to take you off your "beaten path." The so-called detour turned out to be key to my personal growth and development. I took a bad situation and made it the best I could and was successful. Good lesson that I have turned to many times when the construction zone of living has seemed difficult and/or unfair.
