“If we head off with an inexperienced guide, we will fast find ourselves in unnecessary danger and will make little progress. It is risk for the sake of risk rather than for any purpose. And ultimately we are more likely than not to end up in a ditch somewhere and probably injured.
Conversely, when we find a great guide, when we are ready to work hard and commit to trust that person’s decisions (even when they feel frightening), then we will travel far. Yes, there will be risk and danger, but
we will be in safe hands and heading in a positive direction. And eventually we will reach that mountaintop, together, uninjured, and the place will take our breath away.
That’s the key with life and with faith. Choose your guide wisely.”
