Communication Skills Tip: Getting There

My fiance and I have a funny expression: "We're getting there. We may not know where 'there' is, but we are getting there." Even well planned goals don't come with guaranteed destinations and a welcome mat at the door. Moving forward in life sometimes means dodging a bullet or a low-hanging branch. It also means facing tasks that may not be preferred. In order to understand the ebb and flow of meaning, we have to operate well even under unexpected circumstances. We have to stop pushing with our minds (although determination and persistence is of value) and look very clearly at what is in front of us. Being able to manage what is really "here" will then, indeed, get us "there."
