The Black Eyed Peas, titled one of their best albums "Bridging the Gap". hahaha and I think of it as a great term to describe, where you are and where you need to be or want to be. I am totally aware, that we should be present and enjoy each moment. But this is not to say, that we do not set goals, or do not have a focus. Its the total opposite in fact. The path we are on is determined by our inner drive, our spark, our essence. Who we are at the core.

Each and every one of us, has something inside us that propels us in a certain direction, leading us to our ultimately happiness. Sometimes we have to go though the whole process of making costly mistakes and performing painful tasks. I see this as the 'bridge'. "Its not where I want to be ultimately, but right now its what I have to do, to get to where I want to be and really do the things that I want to do".

I had vague picture in mind, that has morphed over the the last few years into something more clear and concise. Sometimes we build this bridge because at the very point in time when you start building you do not have perfect clarity of where the bridge will lead you. You with me?... So now that I know how to build the bridge and where it is going, bridging the gap is no where near as hard as 4 years ago.

I felt like a construction site, that had lost the plans to my development

I am sure throughout this life, we will be bridging many gaps, hopefully not too often. But like anything, it becomes easier...and if your smart and pay close attention, the whole process becomes repeatable and well documented. No two situations (bridges) will be the same, but your perception and attitude toward them is what will change. Calm, Cool, Collected!
