Road Signs

Sometimes we continue doing what we're doing, despite clear signs that we're heading for disaster. We ignore the warning "Road Closed Up Ahead." We pretend that, since we've taken this road many times before, the sign must be wrong. We keep plunging ahead until we decide to turn around or, if not, hit the barrier.

Human beings are creatures of habit, not only in behavior but in thinking as well. We find it so difficult to change our ways that years may go by before we acknowledge that something needs to change. All too often we have to hit that barrier (i.e., have a family or medical crisis) before we learn to modify our thinking or actions.

The signs of what's ahead may be easy or difficult to read. In addition, they may be internal (physical/emotional) or external (relationship/job stress). Watch out for them; your life may depend on it.
