PONDER on THIS for Thursday, October 22nd, 2009 compiled by Lynne Klippel in OVERCOMERS, INC.
"A teacher once told me that the path to a fulfilling life was like the flight of a two winged bird: one wing was self-effort and the other grace. Without both, a bird won’t fly and neither will our lives. Dogged adherence to effort can take you right into a place you don’t even want to go, yet simply waiting for inspiration without accompanying action leads to paralysis (insightful paralysis perhaps, but still paralysis). It is the true partnership of self-effort and grace – inspired action – that is the secret to success.
If I were to frame my experience as overcoming an obstacle, perhaps what I overcame was a tendency to let my ego do the driving. I opened myself to that mysterious other force that we all know and describe in our own unique way, that we can never control, but we can always depend upon.
On your path to fulfillment, you don’t have to row upstream, and you don’t have to get in the boat alone."
Barbara McCollough, in an essay entitled "When Grace Comes to Get You" from the book "Overcomers, Inc., True Stories of Hope, Courage and Inspiration" compiled by Lynne Klippel
