February 18 - GPS

GPS

In our recent trip to San Diego, we learned of the importance of a good map. The beginning of the week we had no idea where we were going or how long it would take to get there. We were dependant on our maps. By the end of the week we were familiar with the main roads and landmarks. We also became familiar with alternative routes, not because we were savvy in our driving, but because we missed the turn off. Several times during the week, Todd told me how nice it would have been to have a GPS. For the record, I did offer to go and purchase one in San Diego, but he turned down my offer.

What if we would have a GPS for life? The GPS could tell us when we achieve our goal of getting to a destination and if we get off course could guide us back on course. So often in life we get off course and just like driving we do not know that me missed the turn or that we took the wrong exit, until it is too late. Then we spend out time backtracking and trying to get back on course. Sometimes, we end up on the bad part of town and it can be a bit scary.

If I had a GPS for my life it would be full of encouragement. It would say things like:
“Keep going you are on the right road.”
“Nice job changing lanes.”
“You missed your turn, but you can get back on course at the next right. It is ok this happens a lot on this road.”
“You are almost there!”
“You have great hair today!”
“You are a great driver.”
“Let’s go on an adventure today and try a new road.”

What would you want your GPS to say to you?
