When we were young, pretty much everything we did was a new learning experience. Each step forward was a new path formed. As we get older, instead of creating new paths, we often tend to stay in the ones that are already well worn. Now there’s much to be said for treading familiar routes, and so long as we still continue to make a few small detours, the pathways don’t have to become ruts.
I’ll be the first to admit that I’ve made many wrong turns and have failed to stop (much less yield) when I should’ve. On the other hand, I don’t make U-turns or backup in the middle of the road, and once I have a solid destination, I get there no matter what.
