Have you seen this moving power point presentation? It contains a wonderful message about the journeys our lives take and reminds us that we are all on this journey together -- mi viaje es tu viaje.
As Accidental Pren-hers, there are times when it seems as if we walk the journey from Accidental Pren-her to entrepreneurial woman alone. This beautiful 5 minute power point presentation shows us that we don't. Furthermore, it reminds us that even though our lives might take different paths, we can all leave positive memories with those with whom our paths intersect.
After you watch, let us know what you think about the journey that unites us all.
I love trains, so this metaphor works for me right away. I've reached a point where I'm grateful for every station stop, every delay, every crash. Appreciating the contrast, as Abe would say. Yes I am!

TUT says it so well don't you think, Dana?
"Do not judge the journey by the path you're now on. Like driving cross-country, you can't possibly know in advance if or where you may encounter detours, hairpin turns, or passing cars passing cars with noses and whatnot pressed to the window. Moreover, little, if any, of the scenery you travel through will remotely resemble the destination you have in mind. Yet neither the "constellations" you see nor the unexpected maneuvers you take will ever mean you aren't headed exactly where you want to go, moving as swiftly as possible, getting closer every flippin' day."
Road trip!

I too agree with the TUT message. How often is it that I focus on where I am in the journey and forget that I still am on my way to my destination. I remind myself to enjoy the journey, enjoy the ride, enjoy the people I meet and the scenery as it passes...Thanks for such a lovely powerpoint presentation.

Enjoy is a powerful experience, don't you think Linda? When we enjoy something, we are in the moment, neither wishing for the past nor hoping for the future. We're on the train and enjoying the ride, enjoying who we meet, and knowing it is all part of a journey. Thanks for your comment!
