What’s Next?
These may be times of change and personal transformation for you. Here’s an excerpt from The New American Prosperity, Secret #21, that has proven useful to many.
What’s Next?
There comes a time when life moves on
And courage prompts your footsteps.
It’s time to leave those well-worn paths
And sometimes bid farewell.
To do what’s next is no simple task.
Discomfort and strangeness take their toll.
But, o’er the hill, discoveries lie,
And these may be profound.
Some prefer what they’ve always done,
And to do it again and again.
Fear of change is dominant,
Inner power lies obscured.
Then, choose to do what’s next in view
And you will see the difference:
Insight deepened, perspective broadened,
And more revelations of you.
–Darby Checketts


When I first read this poem, in the book, it helped me solidify my decision to begin graduate work to become a teacher. Thank you!
