Fork in the Road

"If you come to a fork in the road, take it." - Yogi Berra

On the surface, the above quote is amusing. I take it to mean in life, when we come to a decision point in life, make a decision and move on. For those that know me, making a decision can be a hard thing for me. I am notorious for having a difficult time making a decision.

Each of us come to these decision points in life.

We stand still, evaluating, trying to decide which way to go. We spend a lot of time trying to decide, but never actually making the decision. Do not misunderstand me, we need to make a well thought out decision where possible. Yet sometimes we get lost in the evaluation, wasting time that can be better spent on the journey. When you reach this 'fork in the road' life decision, go ahead and examine the paths before you.

Don't waste your life constantly evaluating.

If you can not make a choice, then 'pick up the fork' and go down either path. You will learn from what lay ahead and you can adjust. I have described this in different ways to describe moving on in life. In my book CHANGED LIVES, the idea is to step through an open door and move on to greater things. Other ways are removing the things which hold you back such as 'rocks in a wagon' you are pulling. Or maybe you have read where I simply say that 'movement causes changes', so don't stand still, move.

You simply need to keep moving forward.

Which ever method works, just keep moving. Lewis Carroll said, "If you don't know where you are going, any road will get you there.” Life is a journey and many different paths exist for us to take. Standing still does not slow the journey down, life keeps happening. Standing still will only dull your view of life. Keep enjoying the ever-changing view that moving along life's paths provide.

Pick up the fork and keep moving.

Stay inspired my friends!
