Yesterday as I was driving through town I came upon a car with a license plate that read LifeFlt. Quickly I recognized the value in the amusing quip. Truly, there is no better way to pass through life than to soar with extended wings.
But what about those days when rather than soaring you feel more like limping? To avoid the risk of you thinking that I am always a Pollyanna, let me acknowledge that I have spent plenty of days underneath the mountain, rather than above it. Yes, I’ve had my fair share of valley-romping-days, carrying my trials along the dusty trail, like a mule with a burdensome pack.
Nevertheless, here are 7 tips that have consistently taken me from the valley into flight again. Hoping you too will take flight!
