Highway driving is/can be incredibly stressful. The thing that gives me peak anxiety is trying to change lanes during rush hour. To oversimplify, I would say that I get stressed as I think about how close my exit is, the number of cars zooming past me, and the lack of opportunities. A better word might be it feels defeating, to know that things may not line up so that I can get where I hoped to go. This morning, as my phone died leaving me in silence, I chose to breathe and try to learn whatever lesson traffic had to teach me.
Maybe you like me are struggling to figure out your path in life. Maybe you fear that you’ve missed your exit and are hopelessly in the wrong place or, worse, that there is no place for you. You’re wrong. Things are just different, and you are on a new journey.
Or maybe you’re the person who swerves, dangerously disrupting other people’s paths because you are so afraid of missing yours. First of all, stop that. Let yourself be rerouted and stay open to taking a new road.
The path will open up. Even if it is not the road you thought you would take, there is still a path for you. So, keep driving.
