Last week my husband and I left for work at the same time. We go in the same direction for the first part of our commute. As we were driving my husband pulled into the other lane and passed me and got ahead. As I watched him pull ahead I thought “Should I follow him. If I follow will I be able to get over when I need to move over?”
I then relaxed back into my seat because I remember that I may not get to my destination as fast as my husband gets to his but I still get there. It doesn’t really matter how fast we move. What matters is that we have a destination and that we are moving towards it.
It is too easy to get caught up in what everyone else is doing and then to start worrying. Am I doing this right? Am I going as fast as everyone else? Am I going to get to my destination when I should.
I will tell you a little secret though. There isn’t a map, there isn’t a timetable and there isn’t a universal right and wrong of when we should achieve certain things. It is ok to take more time, It is ok take a different path, It is ok to turn around.
Let’s make a deal that we support each other in our goals and desires. How can I support you?
