A man found Joseph wandering around in the fields and asked him, “What are you looking for?” He replied, “I’m looking for my brothers. Can you tell me where they are grazing their flocks?”
Often in my success journey I feel like a non-progressive
wanderer. I have you been in situations where I wondered what in heaven’s name I
was actually doing. Such times don’t come because I have missed the mark. More
often than not they come at times I am a hundred percent sure of your stand.
It is Joseph in the fields searching for his brothers,
David in the cave of Adullam, Jacob in the house of Laban, and Moses in the desert
wandering around with sheep. The wandering plane is the failing businessman
with the most worked-out business plan, or the singer with a hundred songs in a
songbook but with no song in a CD, or me with a hundred articles in a hundred
and ten days and yet wondering if my writings are relevant in the first place.
Although the wandering plane is not the most fulfilling
place to be, it, also, is not the place to give up. It is part of your making
process. To refuse the wandering plane is
to refuse success. Hang in there and stick to what you are doing. In a
while you will walk past it.
Ensure
you are guided by your goals.
If you have clearly defined goals you will keep your focus on the end rather
than the temporary wandering plane. Goals will help you know that what you are
experiencing in the wandering plane is not what you envisioned or hoped for. And
as long as what your heart sees isn’t what your eyes are seeing you need to
keep moving. Compose another song. Write another article. Plan another plan. Dream
another dream. No matter what you do, do
not stop for any reason!
