Have you ever taken a wrong turn in town?
What’s the setback? 5-10 minutes?
It can be the difference between being on-time for an appointment vs. being late.
Ever taken a wrong exit on the interstate?
What’s the setback? 15-20 minutes?
On a long trip, you probably have a buffer of time so you might not be late. But who wants to be in the car for an extra 15-20 minutes when you’re already in the car for 2-3 hours, 8 hours, etc.?
I’ve done both of these in the last week. It is so frustrating! I need that time! Nobody wants to be late to an appointment. Nobody wants an extra 20 minutes in the car when you’re in it for hours.
With a few deep breaths, I can get over it and you can too.
Let me ask you this, though:
Ever taken a wrong turn in life?
What’s the setback? 3 weeks? 3 months? 3 years?
How long does it take to figure out you went the wrong way?
How long does it take to get back on track?
As we approach the end of the year, I encourage you to do some inventory. See if you took a wrong turn in some area of life. See if there’s a fork in the road and you need to choose right or left.
Save yourself the time.
