Is an excellent metaphor, like the bee, we can end up buzzing around with a too narrow focus or take risks that are unnecessary, if we don't start out with or step back every now and then to view our actions against our long term vision and a definite plan. While uncertainty and discomfort is essential to growing, taking the time to prepare and assess the terrain is still extremely important...And there is enough space and time for each of us to discover and grow in to our own unique and exceptional paths......Absolutely!

It's true that Salmon do and perhaps the bee's destination was also pre-determined. Glad you pointed that out to me and I believe you are right, often our purpose is worth it not matter how much we are challenged. Thank you for your kind words Mary Lou.

If we live in a competitive mode then we're in the not enough state of mind, which is not where abundance lives. Thanks for reiterating that point. Very true Julianna!

From the snow-covered mountains to the intricacies of the bee on the wing, you captured the overall feeling of the place you were at very well. While everyone else around you was scrambling, you were taking in the moment and really noticing things. The bee metaphor is a good one because it illustrates how even bees can go against the current when determined (although what it was so determined about remains up for speculation). Salmon obviously do this naturally, so perhaps it is built into our nature to fight when survival is at stake? Especially when it comes to our passion...the fight is worth it, no matter how much we are challenged.

Once it did, that became the very challenge he wanted to face at that moment - no way did he want to leave his 'post'! Isn't that the way we humans also deal with the sudden challenges that come into our lives - stick it out till we can, and in the process learn something new that will become a lesson for the future or even get embedded in the genes, helping future generations deal with the recurrence of the challenge naturally? You perhaps mistook the bee's decision to take off into the wind and not let itself be flown, or shall I say blown..maybe he understood his body's design better and knew that if he flies into the wind, he has a better chance of controlling his sense of direction, than if he did otherwise. Maybe, if he did otherwise, he would have been swept away from his intended journey and stripped of his wings? So, shall I say, in the end, the question is 'To Bee or not to Bee'?
