Short cuts are rarely short

“The short cut is always the longest path…The bad news is that in the effort to skip the time involved {in creating real change in your life}they’ve cost themselves more time... Wanting it NOW keeps you from having it. ... People who want it now face many discouragements because of their many false starts…In the end, the ‘want it now’ people end up back where they started over and over again.”

Growing up I remember we all used to groan in the car when my dad announced he was taking a short cut. It was code language indicating that we either were already lost or we were about to be lost...but the trek certainly was NOT going to be short!

Still, I learned a few things from those experiences. Don't sweat mistakes or 'creative ways of arriving' and don't ever TELL anyone you took a wrong turn. I ALWAYS get there...eventually.
