Crossroads

Today is the first day of 2014. It is a good time to reflect upon the past year. Many times in life we reach a crossroad and we realize that changes need to be made. Crossroads happen in our family lives, our work lives and in our relationships. Crossroads can be scary and no one can tell you what the correct path is. Only you can do that. The key to facing a crossroad is to do something about it. The worst thing is to do nothing. If you are miserable at work, do something. If your relationships are doing more harm than good, do something. If you are not feeling well, do something. No matter what the situation is, just do not stand there like a deer in the headlights. If you do, life will run you over. Forget about things that you cannot change. It doesn't matter what you could have or should have done. What matters is now. All of the wishing in the world cannot change where you are now. Trust that you have what it takes to make a move, even if it is a wrong one. The mistakes we make become life lessons. Reaching a crossroad does not mean you are reaching the end of the road. It is a time of uncertainty and challenge that shows us what we are made of.
