Ever ended up somewhere you didn’t intend to go? Perhaps you took a wrong turn by accident. Or maybe you just got curious about where a particular path led. Sometimes, folks end up in places simply because they weren’t paying attention--like missing an exit on the highway due to preoccupation or talking on the cell phone.
Right now, today, you’re on the road to somewhere. You’re taking actions, making plans, doing things. Every road leads somewhere. Some are dead ends. Others go to bad neighborhoods. It’s easy to get caught up in the journey. Put your head down and plod along. Every once in a while, though, it’s useful to take a look around and ask yourself, where does this road lead? Will it get you to where you want to end up?
Everyone has dreams. The only way to make your dreams into reality is to be fully mindful of doing the right things, taking the right steps on the right road. It does little good to be blindly climbing the corporate ladder only to discover you’re on the wrong ladder or that the ladder you’re on is leaning against the wrong wall.
One of the first steps to attaining the life of your dreams is to figure out what road you’re on and making sure it’s the right road. You’re going somewhere, you might as well end up somewhere you’d like to be. Where are you headed today?
