Training Wheels for Life

This Christmas my youngest son got his first bike. He was so excited but since this was all new we were sure to get him one with training wheels. As I watched him learn the in and outs of the bike he eventually felt confident enough to take it outside and ride.

I could tell he was a little unsure at first. He was trying hard to pedal and instead of using the pedal to brake he would put his feet down like the Flintstones. He also did not realize he can use the handle bars to turn the bike left or right. But, once he got it down he was riding like a pro. Then I realize that he will still need more time to learn and have a long way before the training wheels can be taken off.

As I watched him, I thought to myself, why couldn't life give us training wheels that we can keep on until we are able to stand on our own. Well at least the first five years of adulthood when most of us make some of our life changing mistakes. When you first become an adult you are trying to figure life out as well as yourself. There is no easy answer or way to get thru this thing call life, it seems experience seems to be the best teacher. Hopefully, you will learn and gain wisdom from each experience.

I look back on some decisions I made as a young adult that I wouldn't even think of doing today lol. But, if I had training wheels (mentor) to help guide me along the way; who knows what may have happened. Who I am kidding? I would not have listened anyway

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!

Hello,

I want to wish you all a very Merry Christmas!! I hope you enjoy your time with family and friends. Take this time to reflect on 2016 as it comes to end. Did you accomplish the goals you set for yourself? Did you do all the things you wanted to? If not, don't feel discouraged just take advantage of the new year to make things happen. Write down your goals and the things needed to make the goals a reality. Speak things into existence and take the steps necessary to make your dreams a reality. Once you do that get ready for the ride of your life. I wish you the best and thank you for taking the time to stop by.
