Avenues to Success for 08/30/08

Every path has its puddle.

- English Proverb, also attributed to George Herbert, 1593-1633, Welsh poet, orator and priest

Okay, so this isn't an image of George Herbert. I feel that the photo captures the zeal of the little girl; the same zeal that should reflect our  attitude when we come to the puddles we encounter in life.

Here are some bloggers that also used the quote:

The Roaring Woman -

I saw this saying recently, “Every Path has its puddle.” I really like it. It spoke to me because I am in the middle of trudging through my own proverbial puddle. Some of it is caused by people and things beyond my control and other parts of the puddle are purely self created. I think about and ponder the parts I created mainly because I learned long ago that I can’t control the words or actions of others.

Musing: of puddles - 

Buddha and Thoreau both had much to say about pathways in the mind, on the ground and in how we organize our lives; it must be the right path because I feel so right about the path and my angst about lack of sufficient time and lack of patience seems to be subsiding . . not lots, but a little; as someone said, ‘every path has its puddle’; and there is almost always a path around the puddle - sometimes we need to leap it, sometimes we need to march right through like it was never an impediment to anything
