Are you stopping in your tracks…when you see an obstacle in front of you? Do you see unexpected events as immediately bad and detrimental? Or do you see them as a possible message that you need to change your “track?”
A few years ago a good friend of mine forgot to pay her electric bill. She found it shoved to the side she noticed that it was the very last day to pay it. She normally mailed it and have never been to the actual office. So now she had to go. On the way there she got a flat. She managed to get to an auto store and got a can of that goop you put in the tire to stop the flat. Three hours later, she stood in line to pay her bill that stretched out almost beyond the door.
She stood there and sighed…loudly. The man in front of her turned around and smiled. They struck up a conversation as they waited.
Oh, did I mention that a little over a year later I attended their wedding?
You never know where a detour may lead you in life…
