Faith Venture

Kevin Kelly, author and writer, observed, “Looking ahead, focus on direction rather than destinations. Maintain the right direction, and you’ll arrive at where you want to go.”

I used to run, or jog, or whatever you call it. This was not so that I could run 5Ks or 10Ks or marathons. It was so I could keep up with play while refereeing soccer. Soccer is mostly sprints and jogs and walks. Going to the park and just going for 3-4 miles was not really enjoyable. 

I noticed that it was a better day when I just focused on the next step plus my breathing. Focusing on the end point bred frustration.

There are people searching for some sort of instantaneous jump from ordinary to heaven.

But life is one step at a time. Daily disciplines of study, prayer, meditation, service, reflection.

Focus on going the right direction. The destination will suddenly appear on the way.
