Open road
There is a risk with being too comfortable with where you are. You become too complacent and too lazy to budge. Like still water in a swamp, you become stagnant as the world around you evolves.
The problem is, we too often take things for granted. A situation to which we’re accustomed does not necessarily mean that it will forever remain so. Circumstances change, often in the blink of an eye, yet no matter what we tell ourselves, we’re never wholly prepared for any of it.
Confusion is followed by an anguish of how to proceed. We need a plan. That’s what we pressure ourselves to have. But life doesn’t always work in a scheduled manner. Sometimes we just need to take things as they come.
Consider this, however: Without a destination, you’re never late. Because you have nowhere precise to go. You’re always exactly where you’re supposed to be.
Or like the cat in Alice in Wonderland said: If you don’t know where you’re going any road will get you there.
Perhaps we need to see the positive in every situation. A step-back always rattles you to change.
We simply need the courage to move ahead with more experience and determination than before.
Don’t be afraid to start over; you might like your new story.
