Today I traveled North to my work site. I keep my GPS on since this is an area that I am not familiar with and I don't want to make a mistake. As I approach my exit to get off the highway, my GPS voice announces "in point 2 miles take exit on right", but at that same time there is an an entrance ramp on the right the brings in merging traffic and becomes one more lane. The first time I came to this section of the road, I felt the need to get to the right as soon as possible, so I put on my directional, looked over my shoulder and navigated my car through the merging traffic, until I was on the right and was able to turn. Then what I noticed is that this new road, plus the original right hand lane disappeared by the time I reached the exit. I thought to myself, "did I really have to put myself at risk if the middle lane actually becomes the right lane at the exit?" But, no matter what, every time, I would put on the directional and move over to the right just feeling secure that I would be there and not risk missing the exit.
Yesterday I traveled North but to a different site that meant I traveled one additional exit further. So, what I did was stay in the middle lane and just paid attention to how it felt as the road narrowed and what I found was that I easily found myself where I belonged in the path of the exit. So, today I needed to get off at my usual exit and what I did was stay in the middle lane, no matter how tempted I was to move to the right, (and I was tempted!) and I discovered I had no problem getting off the highway. There is a moral to this story, just bear with me!
So, the wisdom I have learned is to put
trust into the path I am taking, no matter how much I feel the urge to leave it for what I believe is a better path, this other path actually may have dangers and risks in it and may prove to be harmful to me. By following my present path, I find myself actually in the
right path, I just have to
trust and it will be shown to me to be true. Thank you for reading today!
