The Power of Consistent Practices in Life
Little Lucy was walking with her parents through a bustling city. She was captivated by a street performer's act, and when she realized her parents were not nearby, she felt lost. The crowd was enormous, and Lucy couldn't find her way back. Her eyes welled up with tears when she noticed a police officer standing nearby.
Approaching him, she said with a tremor in her voice, "I've lost my way and don't know how to get home."
The police officer gave her an encouraging smile. He invited her into the patrol car, and they began driving around the city, hoping the girl would recognize a familiar place.
Before long, Lucy exclaimed, "That's my church! Please, take me there; from there, I know how to get home."
Consistent practices, whether they pertain to our spiritual life, career, or personal relationships, serve as anchor landmarks. They provide a reliable reference that we can return to whenever we feel lost or overwhelmed. By investing in these routines, we equip ourselves with the resilience and stability needed to navigate life's uncertainties and complexities with greater ease and confidence. These practices help create a framework that fosters personal and professional growth.
"People need a place to turn to when everything else fails." – C.S. Lewis
