See beyond the fork in the road

Situations move quickly like fast driving leaders in red sport cars that have a need for speed. 

Sure, we leaders may ignore a few warning signs along the way and feel like we're in control of our destiny. However, what happens when we drive up to the proverbial fork in the road but this time we have to deal with our own luggage, lunch, and baggage?

In other words, sooner or later we will all approach a defining moment in our lives when the path we’re traveling on diverges because of a crossroad which forces us to THINK.  

For simplicity sake, the most basic crossroad has only a left or a right path to choose. If going to the left leads to risk, doubt, and uncertainty; where, going to the right leads to safety, sureness, and certainty which path would you take?  

There are many ways to pontificate a solution. Instead of focusing on the "HOW" we should consider focusing on the "WHY". We don't always have to know the answer; however, realize that we all need to respect our inner feelings. The answers to most of our questions are already within us. Pause for a moment and listen to that quiet voice. We are often too distracted while driving.

Be still. Be alert. Be aware. See beyond the fork in the road.
