TANYA'S LIFE LESSON #11 LEARNED ON THE BACK OF A HARLEY!

TANYA'S LIFE LESSON # 11 LEARNED ON THE BACK OF A HARLEY – IF THE CORNERS START TO FEEL TOO TIGHT JUST CLOSE YOUR EYES AND ENJOY THE RIDE!

Old fears, inhibitions, addictions, unforgiveness, negativity and other annoying things we have chosen to overcome are rarely completely gone. They like to resurface at inconvenient times just to remind us they are still there. They keep knocking at the door hoping we will finally give in and let them back in control. Sometimes they wake us up in the morning trying to be the first thought in our head. They can be persistent little nemeses! We have to turn them away and refuse to let them get a foothold again. Sometimes they back off for awhile, but hover and wait to hit us when they think we are weak. That doesn't mean we are weak or that we haven't conquered them. It just means we have to keep watch at the gates of our hearts. We need to keep our faith and our support systems in place. And if they ever do succeed in creeping in, we need to kick them right back out and not let them make us believe they are in charge! Don't let them set up house! A couple of weeks into our ride I started to tense up again on a windy road, thinking about all the things that could happen, and I didn't like it!! So I closed my eyes and let the wind blow in my face, and soon felt myself flowing right through the tight corners. It worked! I didn't let those old fears steal my newfound joy! It's not always that easy in real life, I know, but we still have to choose not to give into the old things that held us back. If you start feeling the old urge to resist the lean, just close your eyes (shut out the noise in your head!) and enjoy the ride! And, if the ipod you are sharing happens to be playing AC/DC, then shut your eyes, enjoy the ride, and HOLD ON TIGHT!!
