In our minds the dramatic and explosive seem like the best option.  We are fascinated by it in stories, we look for it in the news and in movies, and we think our story is less important if it is not dramatic.  We want the most people to see it and everyone to like it.  Most of life is made up of adjustments.  Little tweaks here and there which add up to look like dramatic changes.  It depends on whether we are playing a long game or a short game.  If we are only in it for the quick and flashy the dramatic experience makes sense.  If we are here for a longer game of life, we will quickly burn out if we are present only for the high impact experiences.  On my daily dates with God I have learned the value of steady and continuous presence.  My heart began to thrive on the consistency and simplicity of showing up for myself each day.  I learned to be open to adjustments in my life because I knew I could admit to needing adjustments without abandoning myself or being abandoned by God. Continuous improvement may not seem like much when we look at in the moment, but when we look upon the arch of our lives we will see the impact of the little adjustments made along the way.  The willingness to keep showing up and make those adjustments because we know they lead us on a path of life bringing fulfillment is the song of our heart and soul.  It may be more flashy and dramatic to make drastic changes but it is the little adjustments which stick and keep us in the game of life for a full life.  It is the adjustments which make the most of the moments we are in and design the path of life of our hearts one day at a time.
