Oops, you have gone down the road, and it’s time to turn back. Not only an occurrence of journeys on the road but ones in our daily endeavors.
We embark on escapades and then decide on a complete U-turn. And while there is no fault in the pure action of the about-face, its reasoning is worthy of reflection.
Did we make a mistake and need to rectify our path?
Does the challenge appear insurmountable?
Have circumstances changed requiring us to take corrective action?
We go on personal and organizational journeys, and they are often fraught with error, not only physical but also emotional. Like the journey, did we plan the trip appropriately, were we negligent in managing the process, or confronted unexpected obstacles.
Each situation may require a U-turn, yet the reason requiring it is important to comprehend. We may be able to avoid the detours if we choose to make the adjustments the next time.
