When Duty Calls!

As Woody Allen’s saying goes, “If you want to make God laugh, tell him about your plans.” So, the bottom line is whatever we plan, things are subject to change. The word, contingent, should forever be sketched in our psyches.

If it was up to us, we would all take the path of least resistance and just float through life like an easy flowing stream. Who in his or her right mind would choose a battle or as some books call them “hard conditions?” But, when our backs are up against the wall, we go into our closets, pull out our protective gear and dress for the occasion. We think of all of the lessons learned and we study our old road maps that the elders left us and push the button that says, “Apply.”

Every time we leave our homes and comfort zones and interact with others, there are always chips of gold to collect along the way. And we get to cash these chips in at a later date for our own personal uses.
