I demolish my bridges behind me. Then one loses no time in looking behind when one should have quite enough to do looking ahead. Then there is no choice but forward.
~Fridtjof Nansen
In our life of spiritual exploration, we burn all our bridges in the effort to leave our old behaviors behind. It takes courage to give up our old ways completely. One lure of transgression is its familiarity. Although living in poor choices and behaviors doesn’t work for us, we know how it feels and sometimes we settle for that.
The world of Spirituality can seem like uncharted territory. Only the experience, strength, and hope of others; and our Higher Power can guide us. The risks seem great. What makes them worth taking is our realization that there is no other real choice. We go forward or, in some sense, we die. We need to trust that we can do it. In Spirituality, we are true explorers, and everything we discover will help others after us who want to join us.
I can see the rewards of my hard work every day as I change and grow.
