It's All About The Journey – Understand It, Enjoy It!
The only time that we are truly on course is that time in the “zig-zag” when we actually cross the true path.
From that analogy it can be seen that the trick in life is not worrying about making a wrong decision; it’s learning when to correct.
When we are constantly aware of the clues that signal that it is time to correct, we will always end up in the right spot – or at least in the right vicinity.
There are many clues that help us know when it is time to correct, for example, confusion and dissatisfaction, upsets in our life and mental pain. These experiences are usually considered negative, but look upon them as positives.
Upsets are beneficial: they tell us that we are off course and that we need to find our way back to our own particular path. Mental pain is just as much a blessing because it is telling us that something is wrong with the way our life is going. It is a sign that something needs correcting; possibly the way we are thinking about the world, or what we are doing in the world, or both.
As long as we are open to reaching out, help will be there.
We will never be ready for this help if we are too busy protecting the course that we have chosen for ourselves. We will be perpetually off course and never reach that destination.
Remember, each decision and each mistake is an opportunity to learn.

Good advice. Course corrections are a very necessary part of life. Sometimes, it feels easier to throw the whole thing out when it just needs a correction.
Thank you Janice, some very important life lessons, we need to be open to change ......a sage once said that the only constant in life is change!

You're welcome Jewel. Yes we often think of mental pain as something to push away (as I once did too) yet it is a wonderful indication of where we are and there are relatively easy and effective ways of correcting this... hypnosis being one!
