Have you ever done an escape room? They\u2019re actually quite fun! I tend to be a high anxiety person so I 100% thought I would HATE partaking in an escape room. To my surprise, it was quite the opposite! The cool thing about escape rooms is that there is a clear cut way to success \u2013 you do all the right things, you get the result you want \u2013 you escape. Some pretty good news, even if you don\u2019t succeed, is that odds are pretty high there\u2019s a bar in the same building as your escape room ready to serve you a cold one while you laugh off the failure. Time is up and the game keeper kindly just comes over the intercom to say you\u2019re done and graciously comes to let you out of the little room you couldn\u2019t figure out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Wouldn\u2019t it be cool if life were like an escape room? Think about it! There is one, YES ONLY ONE, correct path and you follow that to a T and guess what happens? You succeed!! And hey, maybe you don\u2019t succeed; maybe you had a bad day at work or didn\u2019t meet your monthly quota? Good news, your boss comes over the intercom to tell you time is up and graciously leads you down the hall where you\u2019re served a cold one to laugh it off!\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Unfortunately, life is not black and white, it is not cut and dry. There is more often many roads to success and also many ways to fail. The cool thing about life is that we are blessed with many ways to mend our tribulations, many ways to find our own little escape. Mine you ask? Biking of course! I think I love biking so much because it is a relatively controllable sport. Yeah, yeah I know you can\u2019t control the weather or if your kids kept you up all night, but in general, you\u2019re in control of your path to success. You control how often you saddle up, the meals you fuel your body with, the self-talk while climbing icebreaker hill \u2013 the controllables help ease my high anxiety mind. Just like that escape room, you are in control. So, take it.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
