Craffies Coaching

Language is actually profound, the words desire and need at first site had more or less the same context for me at first glance. However with some reflection I now see them quite differently and it will also make some decision much easier, in future.

You see the question I will ask myself in future is the following: Do I need something or do I have a desire to have it?

Desire then ego centric; I want vs. a specific need….

Yesterday I had to go and do a presentation in the Rustenburg area. My customary way of planning would normally have let me to work out on a map what is the most appropriate route to drive, also to take into account the road I am most accustomed to.

However this time I trusted the GPS. So on my way, GPS set on the shortest route to the venue. So initially it took me on the roads I usually would have travelled. Then it started taking me on roads I did not now, and then on a fourteen kilometer dirt road and then another thirty k’s of dirt road.

Plus minus four k’s along this road, I got a sign; “traveling along this road is at your own risk.” So what now, do I go along or turn back and trust the “recalculation” for a better road. So I thought let I go ahead, the road was bad but the scenery beautiful.

Driving slowly and enjoying the scenery despite the adverse road conditions, my thoughts wondered to the words I so easy pray: “ Lord let your will be done.” As with the dirt road, I so easy start to wonder if the road is not what I expected, however the Lord will always get me to the destination in His time and in His way. So what would the reason be that I do not enjoy the ride? Is it that I do not trust, or is it that my Ego get’s in the way, or could it be that I just don’t want to let go?

May you have a wonderful weekend.

God bless.
