A Hike to Remember.......

3/22/2010

0 Comments

 
Those of you who live in the Baltimore/Washington Area know what kind of winter we had this year (2009-2010).  Well, one day in February, a sunny, somewhat warm day (relatively speaking), I decided to go for a hike to clear my head and help make some decisions re: career moves.

I went on a trail not too far from my home, one I had been on once in the past....  the trail was pretty wet and muddy, as you can imagine, and I needed to go off to the sides to avoid sinking and getting my shoes totally ruined.  I had hiked for about an hour, didn't have any epiphanies, so I decided to go along a bit further on this other trail, unfamiliar to me.  After hiking for approximately 2 hours, and getting a bit weary, I decided I wanted to return to my car..... only to find that I couldn't find the trail markers, heard the car noise so knew I was close to a road, but had no idea which way to go.....

Thanks to my Iphone (I should call Apple and give them this testimonial....), I used the compass and map to locate my car, and blazed my own trail to return to my car.... and that was the ONLY way I was able to find it!  I ended up hiking a mile and a half on the road to get to my car........

So much for clearing my head, I thought!  And, then I paused to reframe:  "hmmm, maybe sometimes the road isn't always clear, and there are obstacles in your way, but if your vision is clear, and you use guides along the way, eventually, you reach your destination!"

Changing my view helped provide a needed perspective for the adventure I was about to take!  How can changing your view....  support changes you'd like to make???
