The Labyrinth

One of my favorite places in the world is a clearing in the woods at a golf resort. There’s a labyrinth laid out there intended for walking meditations and mindfulness. It’s beautiful, peaceful, and the subject of today’s episode of the Rethink The Way You Sell Podcast.

This is inscribed on a plaque right before you enter:

“The labyrinth is a metaphor for our journey through life. Its path leads toward an inner light, to the center of our self and the center of the sacred; one and the same. 

Its direction, at times, is confusing, taking us around, and then back again. Yet, it is through this circular journey of discovery and growth that we reconnect to where we once began.”

I’ve walked in that labyrinth. I’ve meditated in that labyrinth. I’ve cried in that labyrinth. It’s a perfect metaphor for the sometimes inexplicable twists and turns our lives take. You feel like you’re moving forward quickly and then all of a sudden you have to stop and change directions. 

For me, the lesson is to accept that I’m on the path I need to be on, and have faith that I’m doing the right things. When I’m honest with myself about those two things, I remind myself that no step is too small so long as it’s headed in the right direction and I keep taking steps. I just need to keep moving forward. 

What about you? Do those same lessons apply?
