We all have at some point in our lives come to a moment in time whereby we are faced with putting say an object together. There have been countless times I would imagine where we have gone to a store and purchased an item that we then need to assemble.
What then becomes important is what our next steps will be. That will determine how everything either moves forward or essentially stalls in its tracks.
In attempting to put together say a desk or a bookshelf as an example, the directions will be included. Directions that provide us with the roadmap to get us to the point of completion.
I’m convinced that regardless of culture, education, financial status etc, there are going to be some people who are not going to follow the directions that are included.
We all know somebody like that. And let’s be honest. That somebody on occasions is us.
For whatever reason we decide we can do it on our own. We know better the directions included.
In the end I would hazard a guess that we wind up with something that is not what we wanted. We wind up in many respects with a messy situation. If only we had followed the directions included.
Directions Included. Not by accident but by design. Directions included to provide us with a designed roadmap to get us from point A to Z. Directions included because someone has been there before us and are now providing the road to follow.
Life provides each of us with directions included. By virtue of those who have come before us. By virtue of those who have stumbled along the way and thus have said by their actions my stumbles are a life lesson for others to learn from.
By virtue that our journey does not have to be as difficult as we make it.
Our challenge is to decide how we will move forward along this road called life. To work harder or to work smarter. The choice is up to each of us. Choices which will define our present which will articulate our legacies.
