11 Apr A Wrong turn in Life

When you are driving, do you ever take a wrong turn and panic, but then the GPS simply re-routes and helps you get back on track. Why can’t we do that with our lives?

We are so stuck up on doing the right thing, however not all of us know what the right thing is. Your decisions don’t come with a projected success rate calculator and often it’s a game of chance, that oscillates between 2 outcomes: that of relief, content and happiness; or resulting in anxiety, regret and overthinking.

Imagine yourself as a car on a busy road, you can’t halt and be at the same place, you need to keep moving. Along this, we are faced with a multitude of options, but what we don’t realize is taking a wrong turn doesn’t mean it’s the end of the world. It’s merely a tiny delay until another road merges it back to our main track. The ETA to our goal increases, but that’s implied cause we got to own up to our actions and everything comes at a price.

However, the GPS never gives us backlash, it simply gets right to it to calculate the next best possible alternative; no time wasted.

Similarly, we are humans and our capabilities are limited, especially that in clairvoyance. So, in such times, we need to respect ourselves enough to know that we had made that choice with our best intention in mind and as possible circumstantially, and it’s okay if it didn’t work out the way we wanted it to.

However, on this road of life there’s no reversing, only going forward. Rather than self-blame and wallowing in pity, we need to work as a team; our mind as the driver, our life as the car, and our rationality as the GPS.
