Listening to Your Heart
Do you ever wish you had a roadmap for living?
If only someone could occasionally show us a way to go, a
direction to take, we wouldn't feel so unsure of which path
to pursue. We think that, with only a little guidance, we'll
surely end up in the right place.
Passengers on a regular flight from Detroit to Tri-City
Airport (which is situated between the Michigan cities of
Saginaw, Bay City and Midland), must have felt a little more
than lost during the flight attendant's greeting as their
flight commenced. She welcomed the passengers and stated
that the destination would be Midland. A few concerned
passengers alerted her to the mistake, so the flight
attendant, obviously not familiar with the area, corrected
herself by saying that they would be landing in "Tri-City"
and Bay City.
Chuckles rippled along the aisle as she bravely tried again.
This time she informed passengers that they would be landing
in Saginaw. Now laughter broke out.
At that point, an authoritative voice came over the intercom
and rescued her. "I'm your pilot, folks," he said, "and
don't worry -- I know where we're going."
It's nice when someone knows the way. And there is wisdom in
seeking help when necessary. Other people can be valuable
resources.
But we cannot always depend on others for the important
answers for living our lives. In the end, nobody can point
us to all the best solutions for life's problems; nobody
else can steer us along the path that is just right for us.
We find that way ourselves. We find the way by listening.
Listening to our hearts -- for the direction we need is
almost always there, deep within.
So if you feel a bit lost, don't worry. This may be a
perfect time to listen. And remember -- your Pilot knows
where you're going.
