The Turning Point

I wonder if today will be the day I reach a turning point. So many times in my life I have found myself at an important intersection and realized I wanted to change directions. Sometimes I’ve actually created the intersections. It seems to me that no matter what, when we come to these places we have a pivotal opportunity.

When I have chosen something new, the learning flows like a fast moving stream. Almost immediately I see what I couldn’t see before and I “get it”. On the other hand, when I hesitate and stick with the “safe” route that I’ve been following I inevitably wind up at another crossroads with an aching feeling of “oh, no, here again!”

So, I wonder if something today will be the catalyst for change, will be what jolts me out of the monotony of a routine that I am accustomed to and yet so very bored with. By bored, I mean tired of and frustrated with. My life is so full and rich with people and possibilities. There are, like in everyone’s life, those places where I have stubbornly held to a behaviour that keeps coming up on the road signs as wanting to be resolved. And, until now, I have skillfully avoided making changes.

Maybe today is the day.
