It’s a beautiful, soaring tower of granite. Deep in the Tetons of Wyoming.

A dear friend of mine and I were going to give it a go. And each of us had a slightly different idea of where the route went.

I climbed up one narrow crack system.

He endeavored to climb another.

For 40 minutes, he flailed until he finally saw that his way just wouldn’t yield.

After more than a bit of cussing, my buddy joined me on the approach I had chosen.

Now, to be sure, my way wasn’t without its challenges… but it seemed to just flow.

And that’s often how you know that the route you’re on is the “right” one.

Worthy goals – whether the search for a new career, or a new love; the writing of a book, or the launch of a new program; freedom from debt or the pivot to a business of your own – are always challenging… fraught with pitfalls for the unwary, laced with discouragement and despair.

They require resolve; they demand courage and tenacity.

And… finding the way to achieve such goals can turn back even the hardiest of us.

Is it just hard? Or are you off course?

The “right way” is the way that flows.
