Been busy writing and learning

Have neglected this blog for a while!

Been busy writing and learning. It is important to read and learn. Learning is an ongoing process, which is important to our personal development.

Have been writing a lot too. Have rough drafts written for a number of books and courses. Must focus on completing them.

I was asked to write a sketch which will be performed in April. Wrote it in English and then had to translate it into French. English humour is different to the French and the humour didn't always translate, but I think I've got there. Rehearsals have commenced.

I have also been considering my goals.

I read an article by Jim Rohn, the other day about setting our sails.

Personal Philosophy is like the set of the sail, by Jim Rohn

This makes me more determined than ever to set my sails in the direction of my goals.

To get to the destination (that you really wanted) at the end of the journey, one has to decide for sure where we want to go.

We also need to decide why we really want to go there.

Perhaps when we go off course, it's for a reason. Perhaps we are being shown that we didn't really want to go to the destination that we thought we were going to. Sometimes things have been created or invented by accident.

Sometimes we need to change direction as we realise our true reasons for going there.

I've never sailed, but I've driven on many long journeys. I'm taking the wheel of my future, but I'm prepared to take a detour, if it is positive. Last summer, I was driving back to our home, from the Alps. Our stay in the Alps had been wonderful and that was what our little break was about, visiting with family in the Alps.

But as I was driving along, looking forward to getting back to our home in Plaigne, I suddenly followed a sign post to a historical monument and natural reserve. My husband asked me what I was doing and the children asked me where we were.

I answered that I didn't know, but that I fancied a little adventure, before going home. We spent three wonderful hours there and then got back on course for home. If I hadn't have turned off course, we wouldn't have had that lovely experience. We reached our destination much happier and less fatigued, than if we had just driven straight there, all be it a bit later than expected.
