THE TRAFFICS OF LIFE

Road blocks; Road Diversions

By BAAFOUR NANA AKOTO NTIPublished about a year ago 3 min read

I was in car the other time going to work but was very late. I got into a traffic and was so angry that the red light had been on for a very long time. Other cars were moving towards my direction but were coming from different roads. As I thought through it, I could hear a whisper in my ears, "that's how life is"

You realize there are times in your life everything comes to a halt. Everything seems not to work for you. When you try to make a move nothing seems to work for you. You have tried pushing several times but the doors doesn't open.

Yes the traffic light is on but the red light shows on your path. Anytime you face challenges in life know that your red traffic light is on and there will be a time where your Green light will shine. But what you do before the Green light comes matters a lot. In life when you notice that things are not working there is the need to sit back and access yourself. Ask your self these questions;

1. what am I doing that is not working for me

2. How was I doing it. What method am I using that its not working

3. What different ways can I do to make things work for me.

The red lights in life are meant to bring us to a halt to think through the ways of life. The fact that the green light of others are on and they are moving doesn't mean that your situation is useless. Time will tell when your green light will come. You don't forget there are other people in life who have also had red lights to their dreams. You can be betrayed and sold by people you know, but when you keep on trusting and believing that things will work for you. Virtually his dreams came to pass when his green light was on.

You need to train yourself and sharpen your God given talent or gift in a such a way that when you have the green light, you can exhibit what you have. Never under estimate yourself when you have road blocks. When the red light is on then its time for reflection on your life. Check what is working and what is not working. When you have the yellow light just get prepared and ready to make the move. Do not be catch at unawares when your green light comes. Most of us complain of being delayed in life but are not prepared enough to take any challenge that may come your way. When you have setbacks in life, it does not mean your life is ended. There are time you don't get what you want. Most at times the road blocks of life seem to divert your path to different path which also lead to your destination. Just that there might be delays. Know that road blocks and diversions are meant to keep you off a danger ahead or repair path holes on your road of life. Road blocks helps you explore your other paths of life and opportunities that may come your way.

Diversions mostly should let you ask yourself what could have been the trap or danger ahead. Sometimes you need to ask these questions and be grateful and thankful that you still have life. Know that when you have life, there is hope.

There have been situations and instances when personal decision lead us into personal created traffic lights, road blocks and diversions. Yes, when we make wrong decisions they do affect us in life. They sometimes make you feel so bad that, you don't want to forgive yourself.

When we make mistakes, we learn from them and move on. Don't allow the situation to set you back. When you are afraid of making mistakes you can not explore and know yourself very well. If you are afraid of making mistakes, you can succeed.

Don't let the traffic light of life make you stagnant

Don't let the road blocks discourage you from getting to your destination

Don't let the diversions of life move you off your path to your destiny

You can make if you don't stop pushing. You are born to win. Say this to your self. I am born to win🏆.
