If life is a highway, there are those who think that it should be a one way street. The thought is that there is only way to achieve a goal. That there is only one way to think. That there is only one way to be.
Life, however, is much more than that. What makes life is that it is full of options.
Timing comes to my mind. If I have a goal, does it have to be done right now? Or, if I'm in the middle of achieving a goal, is it okay if I take a diversion? Or, if I change my approach, can I get to my goal sooner than expected?
Methodology. Do I have the belief (and is it warranted?) that I have to do this all by myself? Are there others that can/should help? If I seem to be getting stuck, what other approaches can I take to get "unstuck?"
People. Who is important? Is my current roster of friends/business associates/acquaintances what I desire? If not, how do I find the right people?
Am I in the right job? If I am in the right job - what's next? If I'm not in the right job - am I in the right career? Where do I find work that I love?
Often "one way," without options, leads to a dead end. If we recognize, and embrace, that there are other ways and options, we will live abundant lives.
