It is scary and unnerving but you've got to trust that the path you're on is still the right one and try to avoid focussing on the fear :) Glad you enjoyed the post. Thanks for your encouragement.

Your wife must be a very special lady. I'm sure most would be exhausted by now :) Hi James,

You do need to take a step back sometimes and just think, or not think. Either way (for most people) running straight into a wall doesn't work, unless (and here comes the motivation Eleanor) you can run with so much force you smash that wall down! .-= TheInfoPreneur´s last blog ..<a href="http://www.theinfopreneur.net/2010/02/why-your-comments-section-should-be-like-a-forum/">Why Your Comments Section Should Be Like A Forum</a> =-.

How's things? I had to smile when you spoke about reminding yourself that God's watching over you.

The change in the point of focus is important. Thanks for reminding us of that. It was driving home Wednesday night in very dense fog that allowed this whole thought process to evolve. I found it fascinating. .-= Eleanor´s last blog ..<a href="http://www.giveabrick.com/how-to-maintain-a-healthy-mind/">How to Maintain a Healthy Mind</a> =-. Hi Ben,

I really like the message you have here because I know how crazy and scary it can be driving in fog and you can't see very far, it's not fun. I usually just tell myself that God's watching over me should anything happen. I also remind myself that after I get through it - and I will, that it'll have been one more experience I can use to learn how to do it better next time. We should all slow down a bit and make sure we're seeing clear enough to get where we're going to. It's not always fun but it can be a great lesson to look closer at where we're at vs. starting way out into a far distance. The big picture is great but sometimes can seem overwhelming.

To survive the fog you need to change your focus. When thing's are clear in life it's easy to look ahead and focus on things a long way in front. But when the fog descends, which it does, you need to change your focus and work on the little steps knowing that you're on the right path to a bigger destiny.
