Lao-Tse &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:lucida grande;"&gt;Our lives are important, our journeys are important and along the way we may slip and fall. We may acquire the ability to see the obstacles in our way before we reach them - which allows some of us to jump over the  proverbial "bump in the road". Well, there are some of us that see an obstacle, look at it, analyze it, worry about it, make a competent decision about it... and still run into it; head on. Full force. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Those obstacles have the ability to either stifle us completely or inspire and invigorate us.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I RAN into one of those obstacles and chose to stand in front of it for years.  Stifling my dreams and desires; but, something happened and I decided that instead of standing in front of that boundary any longer I would walk around it and I began my "JOURNEY".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The confidence I gained from that first step empowered me and now I just can't stop walking! Stick around and enjoy the walk with me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4754949261667120287-6818006372798324199?l=waiting4magic.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://waiting4magic.blogspot.com/feeds/6818006372798324199/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4754949261667120287&amp;postID=6818006372798324199' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4754949261667120287/posts/default/6818006372798324199'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4754949261667120287/posts/default/6818006372798324199'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://waiting4magic.blogspot.com/2008/09/journey-begins-here.html' title='The journey begins here...'/><author><name>Bonnie</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry></feed>
