Have you ever been at a point in your life where you find everything extremely difficult? No matter what you try, you run into obstacle after obstacle. You have set your goal to get a certain job or to loose weight or make more money BUT at every turn you are presented with difficulty and strife.

Do you know why this happens? The answer is You are not in your Lane! What I mean is that if you are constantly running into problems trying to accomplish something at some point in time you have to ask if what you are trying to achieve is what GOD intends for you. What I am talking about is finding your calling, finding your lane.

Have you noticed when you are driving somewhere on a long trip that once you find the correct lane on the highway your trip becomes more pleasant. Instead of having to weave in and out of traffic or wait for that person thats driving 10 mph in a 65 mph zone, you find the lane that allows you to cruise to your destination. Recently, I drove 4 hours to get to an event. At the beginning of the drive as I was leaving my city, I was so frustrated. Cars were in the way, people were driving crazy, the pavement beneath my car was rough and loud. It was ridiculous. About an hour into the trip I happened upon a lane on the highway that had very few cars, the pavement was smooth, and the other cars in that lane were moving along at an excellent pace. It suddenly occurred to me that I had finally found the right lane! Immediately my frustration went away, my anxiety level disappeared and my stress about the trip was gone. In fact it became an enjoyable ride!

Isn’t life the same way? When we are not in our lane, when we are not in alignment with what God intends for our life, our road is unsteady, we are susceptible to the whims of the things around us. However, when we have found our true calling, when we are in the correct lane, things become easy, our load becomes lite. Every successful and happy person has found their lane. Happiness and Success are found in finding your true calling. The peace that passes all understanding is found in getting in your lane.

As you reflect on this, evaluate where you are in your life. As you reach toward your goals, are things easy (if when you run into obstacles do you feel anchored in what you are trying to accomplish?) or are presented with difficulties at every turn (and those difficulties sway you on your commitment to your goal?). Depending on how you answer this question, you may not be in your lane. Remember to have true fulfillment in life you have to GET IN YOUR LANE!
