More than exprience

An awful lot of kudos is given to the value and benefit of experience. Often when a job vacancy becomes available we look to fill it with someone of experience.

Obviously not all experiences are good but life tells us that we should always seek to learn from our experiences.

All of the above is very true and valid but experience will always have its limitations. Sometimes we need to approach life a different way.

Approaching something brand new will always challenge us, take us out of our comfort zone, but often this is where we truly live, where we truly embrace all that life has for us.

The pioneers (Mid West of America, to lay claim to a plot of land, would ride as hard as they could, for as long as they could. As far as they rode was the land they claimed. It is the same for us.

Maybe it is an age thing but for too many times in life we settle...., and if we use the mid west analogy, we stop riding. But why?

In his song Eternity Robbie Williams declares that 'youth is wasted on the young'.....there is certainly truth in that but there is also another cliche that 'today is the rest of your life'.

Sometimes we need to take a more reckless look at life...step out of our experience and as the bible encourages 'walk by faith' (2 Corinthians 5:7)....maybe just a little bit!
