e84 Challenge – Driving in Nebraska

Have you ever driven through Nebraska? I call it the longest state. From end to end, on I-80, the trip takes about a day. I’m fortunate because I’ve never gone the entire distance – I always take the short-cut that leads to or from the northwest corner of Colorado. Be warned. Stock your vehicle with lively music, podcasts and company, because you’re going to need them. There’s nothing to see but monotony.

The fact is, whether I’m excited by the view or not, I’m still making progress. When I’ve taken that trip, it’s going back to Denver or driving back to Michigan. I’m always looking forward to my destination. I know there are attractions/distractions along the way, but at that point, I’m just looking forward to pulling in the driveway.

A long journey – whether physical, spiritual or emotional – can be like driving across Nebraska. It’s not always exciting. Trust, though, that we are making progress, because if we stop in Nebraska, the view will never change. Check the odometer’s progress or trace the mile-marker path on the map. Be assured that as long there is fuel in the tank and a foot on the pedal, we are moving toward the destination. Ignore the view. Instead, picture the driveway.

Are you stuck in proverbial Nebraska with an unchanging view? If you aren’t moving toward your goal, whatever it may be, commit to the journey. Know beforehand there will be monotony from time to time, and know also that the monotony will end. Mental preparation is half the battle. You can’t see the end of the road from behind the wheel, but you know it’s there.
