"Let the Wind Speak to Our Sails!"

You will not necessarily find it in plain sight, right on the outskirts or that easy to touch. As a matter of fact, it just might be buried underneath the surface, waiting for you to administer a little effort, prior to it revealing itself to you. A lot of the time, and I dare say too much of the time, if it isn't "easy enough," we deem it to be not "worthy enough" of our attention and rather simple effort. But isn't that exactly the opposite of how the thought process should be?

Oft times we are right there and as soon as we vacate the premises, someone else hits the jackpot!

Oh we know how much things will cost us, but we have a rather skewed view on what the value of it really is. Cost and value are not synonymous words at any point in time. How many times has there been a yard sale shopper that happened upon a masterpiece (value) that was hidden behind something that was paid for at a price (cost) less than that of a cup of latte? Do you still think of those two words as being synonymous?

In a nutshell, we have a much better chance to prevail, when we stop putting down our anchors and "Let the Wind Speak to Our Sails!"

When we put forth the right amount of effort, we can count on getting back much more favorable results as opposed to doing very little, yet expecting a whole lot in return. If you were to return an article of clothing that you purchased, you wouldn't expect to get back greater than what you initially invested in it, would you? The same holds true for how we invest our time and energy into God, into our marriages, as we are raising our children and when we are working on the job.

Stop gazing from the marina of Life enjoying everyone else's ship that is sailing. Undock your own ship and allow it to set sail. Speak less and do more as you bare witness to the opportunity that has been feverishly knocking at your door.

Greater chances at increase and our opportunity to prevail. If we only retract our Life's anchor, and "Let the Wind Speak to Our Sails!"

God, Love, and Smile Always!
