Life On the Tarmac

How familiar is the frustration of being stuck on a tarmac waiting to take flight.

We recently have heard of the horrific story of passengers being stuck on a tarmac for 9 hours or so and that it took an overall 12 hours to complete their transport.
Passengers rightfully complained of the stench of an overused toilet, stinky diapers, crying babies, lack of comfort, and lack of food and drink.

I find it interesting that in the same way these people were detained, often, life can detain us in a similar manner. Sometimes the attempt to get moving is stalled for unbelievable or even unknown reasons. No matter how much we are ready to complete a task, go higher in our purpose, or feel the need for greater success, there can be a huge delay. Our plans for our lives get re-routed, shifted, and sometimes shut down, causing us to create a new action plan. Though, this can be depressing, frustrating and totally inconvenient, if we are smart we'll allow the interruption to make us more creative and wisely productive!

We've all been created and wired to move toward something. Aging and death are proof of this. So either way, whether delayed, denied, or derailed, our lives our filled with a purposeful inertia.
