Life is full of choices
even not making a choice is one …
We can choose to meander through life or set our own course
it’s easy and comfortable to meander along with societal norms
As charting our own course is venturing into the unknown
it’s daring to be different and taking responsibility for our choices
It’s following our dreams and being true to our core values
it’s about questioning the norms that society imposes
Do you meander or are you brave enough to chart your own course?
DP: Meander
🙂 I was born a rebel and live up to that moniker.

Nice post! I actually wrote about how I meander through life. It’s not that I don’t have a destination, just that I’m flexible how I get there and open to opportunities along the way. I also love the comment that not making a choice is a choice. Great point!

Love those first two lines and agree that decisions you make should be based on your core values (and being prepared to take some risks.)

I think over the course of our lives…we do each of those! 🙂
At times, like prepping for university…I planned and set goals and am so glad now that I did.
But in my heart, I am a meanderer! 🙂
Great write, Kate! 🙂
HUGS!!! 🙂

Love this. I’ve done my fair share of meandering but now I’m charting a course and feeling so inspired. Hugs to you

I don’t think I’ve ever wanted to Captain the ship. I prefer to throw myself in the ocean and see which way the current takes me. But there are lots of currents in the ocean. Everyone has their own current to find. Or better still let it find them.

I meander within the boundaries of my own standards – standards taught to me by family, church, and dictated by my own experience.

I felt like this was written for me Kate.
Somehow it makes my weary mind calmer reading this…..the thought that someone at the other side of the world has the same thought as i am is really comforting..and if your thoughts and my thoughts would be the thoughts of everyone else then maybr just maybe things a lot better..but sadly it isn’t the case..

I’d say I do a mix of the two… I choose my battles, and meander through the rest 😉

Many a time, fear of the unknown stops us from charting our own path Kate. When we stop thinking about the end result and learn to enjoy the journey we will be more open to venturing away from following the herd!
