The sign that makes every driver cringe. How long will this affect my arrival to my destination? While road blocks are familiar to us on the tangible roads that we drive, sometimes they are not as noticeable on the unseen paths our life may take.
Do not pass GO
If you think back 5, 10, or even 20 years, your life may be very different than what you may have planned. Part of that is how we handle the road blocks. When you had setbacks, and everyone will, what did you do with them? You can allow yourself to get your tires stuck in a rut or you can muster the bravery to take a detour. Your detour may be very different than what you had planned for yourself, but it could be what your Higher Power had in mind for you the whole time.
Do not collect $200
Detours can be costly. When that job does come immediately or the money you were hoping for takes wings away, we must be ready to turn these difficulties over. Changes are never easy but always worth it.
Road Block ahead. Turn around? Or face the detour?
