In this world of hustle, bustle and automatic pilot movement without thought, we often attempt to cut corners by finding the quickest route from point A to point B. Have you noticed that life has gotten less intriguing when we cut corners on our journey? It becomes predictable, safe and BORING!!!!!!
And, really, what journey that is worth living or being engulfed in has only two destinations.....the beginning and the end. Often on our way to point B, we need to backtrack to Point A, only to find Point C has shown up unexpectedly, and along for the ride is Point WTF????? We could NEVER have seen that coming.
It is often at POINT WT and F that we fully live the journey, all the good, bad and the ugly of the journey. In the future, once the journey is complete, we will reflect and recall the lessons learned during our forays into POINTs WT and F. If there were no WTF moments in life, what would life be but predictable, safe and boring? What lessons would there be to learn, what stories would we tell and what in the hell would we be grateful for?
Next time you step on your path to move towards POINT B from POINT A, watch for and welcome the other 24 POINTS that make themselves known to you. Be aware as you move from place to place, from situation to situation, from relationship to relationship. Go the long way, or maybe just the wrong way, we'll never know.
The long way...........it's part of life, people.
