Outdoor Truths
Have you ever noticed that when we begin having success in a few things, how we start to assume that we have found some kind of infallible key? We automatically think we have discovered what others have not. We even determine that it is our superior intellect that has brought us to this advanced place where others have never tread. I particularly remember this scenario a few years ago when the stock market was at its best. Thousands of individuals mistakenly thought they had somehow learned how to “beat the system.” They mistakenly assumed that their success was based more on their own ability than simply on the fact that the winds of success were blowing freely on everyone. And it had more to do with the present environment than a perceived expertise. Look in the mirror today and ask yourself if there is some area in your life where you have told yourself you cannot fail. This will be where you are most vulnerable. If you will always remain pliable, humble, and thankful, you will not only be able to succeed as you apply your own gifts and talents, but you will be able to function with a bold peace when the weather of change throws your season into time of uncertainty.
