P.O.P. Day 123: Roadblocks


The worse place to be can be a crossroads. Each road is scary, with bumps and potholes and smooth stretches. And unlike Dorothy, we don't have helpful songs and colored roadways to assist in our choices. There is no telling from the crossroads which is the right road to take. After all, most people say that it's the journey and not the destination anyway.

I find myself at such a place now. Every way that I turn has some restriction as well as some reasons for recommendation. Decisions have to be made. A path needs to be chosen. I just have to get out of my own way to do it.

We all have that problem sometimes and not just with major life decisions. It can be as simple as sticking to a plan to clean a room, weed a garden, or resolve an issue with a friend. The biggest obstacles in our lives are usually not the money, the time, the uncertainty but rather ourselves. Things are rarely as difficult as we make them out to be in our minds. Save the money, make the time, and move forward. Who knows what we will find at the end of our personal yellow brick road.
