Asking ourselves the deeper questions of life can set us on the right track again. At least once a year it is important for an individual, a couple and a family to look deeply at their lives and understand the path they are on. It doesn't need to take a long time to look more deeply at our lives, sometimes just a good focused hour can bring very rewarding results. We wouldn't dream of taking a major road trip to an unknown place without consulting a map and having some kind of a plan. Even if the plan changed and we wanted to go someplace different, we would still consult the map.
Life is a big unknown trip and our heart is the map.
Consulting our heart, our own personal map, will make sure we are going in the right direction. Look for it at your favorite bookstore.
