This week, I have been considering the idea of “Highs” and “Lows”.

Often we focus on the high points and “mountaintop experiences”. Events, retreats, and other special occasions are designed to help produce them. They are meant to be memories that galvanize us along a specific pathway or goal.

Invariably, we also experience low points or “valleys” along the way. Usually, these are what happens when we return to the “real world” where day-to-day frustrations and normalcy become work.

This happens across all ranges of our experience. Whether your goals are physical/health, financial/business, relational, or spiritual, we sometimes struggle to follow through.

It is interesting that our solution is often more events trying to recreate and reconnect to the “mountaintops”. That develops into a chase of the feeling, but usually doesn’t help us get closer to the objective.

If we *really* want to achieve the outcome, we have got to train ourselves to enjoy the journey instead of wistfully eyeing the objective. You just need to find the right path to getting to your goal.

If you are struggling on your current journey, especially with consistency & motivation, take a moment to determine if you *really* want to achieve the outcome. If so, be on the lookout for a different pathway to get there.

Most importantly, if you truly do not enjoy all the pathways that you can find to the outcome, you need to take that moment of clarity to honestly assess if you are really committed to that goal!

In all things, be honest with yourself about what you want, what you like, and what you are willing to do. That is the journey where you will find peace.
