Know How To Drive To Your Destination
|
We are constantly driving on the roads of life, and arriving to various destinations. Some have a particular destination in mind and navigate towards it. Many do not have a clear destination, and let fate, circumstances and other people hold the driving wheel.
Sometime we love the scenery on the way, and at other time we may dislike it. We pass through many terrains, mountain passes, valleys, villages and towns. Do you sometimes settle down in one place, or constantly travel? The places we pass through are our opportunities, situations and circumstances.
Some of us can read the map and consciously navigate to our destination. There are many obstacle and surprises on the way, and therefore not everything on the way is anticipated.
On the journey we come to many intersections. Sometimes we consciously steer in one direction, but more often we let the car take us where it wills. What would have happened if at the intersection you chose a different road? Where would you be now?
Do you sometimes find yourself contemplating what would have happened if you took that opportunity, moved to a different city, married that particular man or woman, or accepted the job you were once offered? Maybe you would have been rich now, or maybe you would have lost everything you have. What if you had married your ex boyfriend or girlfriend, would you have been happier or miserable?
It is useless to mull over the past. You cannot change it now. Concentrate on where you are now, where you are traveling to, and the intersections that you pass on your way. Learn to read the map of life, and drive carefully.
You can follow the navigation of your mind, but does it take you in the right direction? What is the right direction for you? Read the road map carefully before taking a turn. Following blindly any sign on the way might lead you to a dead end. It is wiser to look at and read the map carefully, and only then proceed in the right direction. You do this by training yourself to become more conscious of your thoughts, and by thinking, meditating and listening to your intuition before every major decision you face.
It is usual for most people to act, albeit consciously, upon the advice of family, teachers, friends and colleagues. Some of the advice might be wise, but sometimes it is not. Heed any advice given, but also find the facts by yourself before deciding or acting. What might be good for someone else might not be so good for you.
When you drive your car in order to arrive to a particular destination, you need no one to tell how to drive. If the passenger sitting in the car next to you desires to arrive a different destination, and you rely on his/her navigation, you might end up where they one to go and not where you want to go.

What is the conclusion?
Listen to other people advice, but it has to be your judgment and decision whether to follow it.
When you face a major gather all the facts you can before arriving to a decision
Use your common sense.
Listen to your intuition, but also analyze it before accepting it.
Use your imagination to visualize where the road might take you, and plan ahead for any emergency.
Strengthening your power of concentration, will power, self-discipline and practicing meditation will help you to choose a better direction at every intersection in your life.
When you have to choose in which direction to go, whether in relationships matters, work, study, housing or any other subject, imagine that you have arrived to an intersection, and you have to decide which way to go.
It is not always possible to know where you will end up when you travel on the road, but you will experience fewer regrets if you choose your direction consciously and deliberately. If you plan carefully and know all the details, you have a better chance to arrive where you plan to go, and you will become the master of your life and not a slave of circumstances.
