Going round in circles!! reflection of my life?

 

Had to go to the city yesterday and have never felt comfortable being in all that traffic. Well, yesterday I was asked to drop my boss's son off at her work place ,after his appointment, as I would only be 12km away. Seemed like a simple enough request.

I took on the assignment wholeheartedly and we set off. "How long ?" was asked by my little charge and I happily assured him maybe 15 mins, depending on the traffic.

How wrong was I?

3 hours later

Un beknown to me the roads I knew and had travelled on previously, were blocked off for the Anzac Day dawn service the next morning.

After detour after detour, we ended up in such thick traffic that it was impossible to even change lanes and, as I did not know where I was going once I had left the route I usually used, we got well and truly lost. Being the city, the building I needed to get to was in my sight, I just couldn't find a street that I could turn into. There were barriers everywhere.

I kept my cool and did exactly what I had scripted into my character, I played music and sang and we made a game of it. Every wrong turn was met with "OH NO! NOT again!" and loads of laughter.  We got closer again, " there it is! " we could see the building again and my boss called. Against my better judgement I answered the phone and then as I spoke and explained to her about the blocked roads and the heavy traffic, I stopped thinking and followed the others in front,  I sailed right past the turn off and onto the freeway ramp!  I ended up on the tunnel that leads out of the city and with the increadibly heavy traffic ( we could have walked it in 5 mins) it was almost an hour before I got back to that exact spot and the right turn off again!

This whole event replayed in my mind on my way home , and the parallels in my life were very similar.

I often see my goal and become distracted and sail right past.

I often accept a journey or goal and do NOT plan ahead for it!  I could have stopped and read my map BEFORE i set off. Impossible when driving, But WAS possible at the start.

I knew NOT to answer the phone, but let fear of authority get to me.

I often get pushed into places I don't want to be!

I oten follow others with NO thought as to the destination.

I can go on and on.

I am really proud that I stayed happy. I did  make good decisions once I realised I was going in the opposite direction! It is never too late to turn around, just impossible in a tunnel!

I can now acknowledge more aspects of my life that now aware of, I CAN IMPROVE !!

SO THIS ONE IS TO

READING THE MAP AND STAYING FOCUSED!

And ignoring PRESSURE to perform a certain way,when the red lights are flashing!!! and other things have to take priority!

What can I improve on today?

Going around in circles

Lif is like that going around in circles, you're not alone on that one. I have a problem of repeating past mistakes. I slept with guys in my past, that's like going around in a circles not learning that mistake sooner. But hear what you are saying, don't give up! Depression is hard to deal with in life but if we stay positive we can do better for ourselves.
