“He knew right then he was too far from home…”
– Lyric from Bob Seger’s 1978 record, “Hollywood Nights”
When we get too far from home, it’s important to remember that we don’t have transporters, circa Star Trek, and we don’t have a Delorean to take us back to 1985 (sorry, Bears fans…). So, if we’re “too far from home,” we got there one step, one decision, one minute at a time.
One of our biggest challenges is snippet-tizing or categorizing too much of what we do, think and feel.
Instead of knowing right then that we’re too far from home, let’s commit to knowing right now if we’re on the right path. It’ll help us stay there, and it’ll help us stay connected to the parts of us that make a difference, for ourselves and for others.
