The Choice is Yours
Picture yourself standing at a fork in the road. You have reached a choice point and only you can decide which way to go. If the decision is difficult, the paths might not be different enough or even worse, the paths may be too dissimilar. One choice doesn’t create enough change and the other is almost too much change to contemplate. Making the right decision seems critical and the challenge of choosing wisely can create inaction. The choice point is lost in the details.
Point me in the Right Direction
Every choice point requires thought because we fear making the wrong decision. But when studied closely, the only thing we can lose is the opportunity. Staring intently into the unknown takes a leap of faith and our ability to trust ourselves may be dependent on how we handled our past jumps. If we created enough trust to walk on the right path that brought us to this point, we must have made the correct choice. Right?
Perplexing road
In reality, whichever road is chosen will be correct. At that time, in that space, with that knowledge, you chose. Even a lack of choice is a choice. You will never really know if the other path was a better one because you didn’t take it. That is the way the game of life works. You take chances either way. You can continue on and look for confirmation that you made the best decision. And you did.
The Open Road
To make choice points become exciting opportunities, look ahead and get ready. You do not have to wait until fireworks go off to enjoy the night sky. Look up and ahead. Study. Ponder. You can prepare yourself for the next fork in the road. When the road starts to curve and you see the two roads ahead, you already did your map work to determine the best way. The clarity of the ride will impress you. You will get hooked on watching for those turns ahead.
Can you feel when a choice point is ahead? Can you see the fork in the road as an exciting chance to change your speed? Are you a good enough driver to handle an open road?
