I once posted a blooper in a social media platform that I could not correct. In my flawed messages I said that something was going "know where."

It was not my first blooper. Nor was it the only one I could not fix. I was going “knowwhere,” but ….

I meant "nowhere."

I was only a few letters and a space off, but the meaning changed.

Never one to let a good lemon go wasted without making lemonade, I pondered the deeper meaning of the contrasting terms.

If you are going to where you know where then you can't be going nowhere.

That was not excellent grammar, but I think you get the point. If not, let me rephrase.

If you know where you are going, you can't be going nowhere.

You must be going somewhere.

While I can't tell you where nowhere is, I know that somewhere is real and worthy of your efforts.

So there!

Now then, what is the difference between nowhere and know where?

Nowhere

N – Negative because it is kNee jerk. It is reactive rather than responsive or proactive.

O – Oblique because of its lack of clarity or definition.

W – Worthless because it is the product of a void of values.

H – Hopeless not because it is so awful, but because it was not born of hope.

E – Effortless and effort accompanies value.

R – Redeemable if we are willing to stop and re-calibrate our intentions.

E – Efficient. If it is your goal to go where, you will always succeed.

Now …. KNOW WHERE you are going …

Know

K – Knowledge is the key word. You have given this some thought and gathered wisdom.

N – kNees engaged – Not kNee jerk, but born of prayer.

O – Obvious – There is so much clarity that others can see where you are going.

W – Worthy – your destination is a worthy and worthwhile goal.

Where

W – Will – Your will is engaged. You have made a decision and are following through.

H – Hopeful – This dream is born of hope, bathed in hope, and built daily with hope.

E – Energized moment by moment. You put in the effort and see the fruit.

R – Reachable – It may be lofty, but you can do it. You can get where you are going.

E – Extraordinary – Efficiency is not enough. You were created by God for an extraordinary life!

That is not a lot of prose and there is little here but some thought propellants. However, see what happens if you take one or two of them as seeds for reflecting on where you are going. Spend some time doing that today. It will be worth it.
