Getting From Here to There...

From Here-to-There just may be the longest, hardest, gnarliest trip we will ever take.

Before setting out on the trip, there are some things to keep in mind:
-You don’t need to know every detail to get from Here-to-There.
-You should set realistic expectations for the journey

.
-You need to be aware that you will change along the way.
-You should not settle for only the easy, the simple, and the convenient

-
the journey will be tough at times.
-Along the way you can make big changes-
but they most likely will not happen over-night.

Most likely, the trip from Here-to-There will be a solo-event.
You'll be going it alone.
It will involve negotiating unknown and uncharted territory.

You are Here…with your disappointments,
But you would like to be There…

You are Here…with your incredible burden of guilt,
But you would like to be There…

You are Here…with your dead-end job, or relationship, or future,
But you would like to be There…

You are Here…wandering, wondering, floundering, failing,
But you would like to be There…

Here is some wisdom on the trip from Here-to-There...just in case you are thinking about making that trip any time soon.

I remember reading an on-line article by Mike Foster about his months spent is SE Asia in the summer of 2010…He wrote:

Crossing the street in Hanoi, Vietnam is an experience.
Cars don’t stop. Taxis don’t stop. Buses don’t stop.
And the 5,000 mopeds coming at you don’t stop.
So you could stand on the side of the street and wait. 
And wait.  And wait. 
Hoping that there might be a good time to cross to the other side.
If that’s your strategy…you will be waiting a long time.
The key to crossing to the other side is:

1. STEP OUT INTO THE STREET

2. PAY CLOSE ATTENTION TO THE OBSTACLES COMING AT YOU

3. DON’T LOOK BACK

4. CELEBRATE WHEN YOU GET TO THE OTHER SIDE


Good luck.
