We Need to be Walking and Steering

“Go forth on your path, as it exists only through your walking.”

Saint Augustine

The water-based corollary is that a ship at dock can’t be steered.

We’re meant to move. Physically, yes, but in this context we’re meant to be working on whatever we’re called to pursue:

— a writer writes

— an athlete chases higher levels of performance

— a creative creates

— a teacher learns then teaches

— husbands and wives pursue each other

— mothers and fathers actively care for what their children need most

We need to walk our walks and steer our ships. What are you doing today to make that happen?

In your life what’s been on pause for too long? How can you get it off of pause?
