Reflection
When I saw the opening quote, I thought about all the twists, turns, and bends that are a part of the Great Miami River Bike Trail.
Every time I come upon a bend, I slow down, navigate the bend successfully, and then accelerate and get back up to speed just in time for another bend to greet me.
Life
Life is a series of twists, turns, and bends. Every now and then, there is a straightaway to catch your breath.
The longer I live, the more I realize that the journey is the destination and never without challenges.
Effectively navigating the bends in the road of our life journeys is all about attitude and having faith that God never gives us more than we can handle.
I always write from experience.
James 1:2-4, “Count it all joy, my brothers, when you meet trials of various kinds, for you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness. And let steadfastness have its full effect, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.”

AFFIRM YOUR P.E.A.C.E.
Plan – A dream remains a dream until you write it down. Putting your dream or goal in writing is the first step in creating a PLAN to achieve it. When you fail to plan, you plan to fail.
Effort—Turning your dream/goal into reality requires a commitment to consistent and focused effort toward executing your plan. Nothing great in life happens without working hard.
Attitude—If you believe you will achieve your dream, your chances of achieving it increase exponentially. Remember that your attitude determines your altitude in all areas of your life.
Community – Nothing great in life happens by doing it alone. The chances of achieving your dream expand as your COMMUNITY of positive mentors and coaches expand. You become the average of the five people you spend the most time with–and yes, spending time with “people” through books and instructional videos factors into your “average.”
Energy – Chasing and achieving your dream requires optimal mental, physical, and spiritual ENERGY. So put your dream in God’s hands and nurture your mental and physical being.
