Will Rogers is quoted to say "The road to success is dotted with many tempting parking spaces." I will go a step further and say that there are many exit ramps as well on that road. But whether it's a parking space or exit ramp there's no question that choosing them will not lead to a successful ending. Parking spaces will keep us stuck in one place, while exit ramps will lead us completely away from our goal. This seems like a no brainer but when we are on whatever path we find ourselves on and we begin to face constant challenges, trials, and hardships; the parking spots and exit ramps begin to look like a lot better option. Mental and physical exhaustion causes us to start wanting anything that will give us a break from the constant clawing and fighting our way on this path. What paths have you veered away from and what missed opportunities has that caused you?
No matter where or what you came from, great things can come from you!
