A FORK-IN-THE-ROAD

A Fork-in-the-Road Question

We all have to make tough choices occasionally. As life teaches us constantly, each choice we make has consequences attached to it. It reminds me of that old physics equation by Sir Isaac Newton called the Third Law of Motion, which states: For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. It’s that equal and opposite reaction that gets a lot of people into trouble regarding the choices they make. With that said, I suggest you consider this question before making any important decision.

Is the money you make worth the price that you pay? This question is actually from an old song by Graham Nash called “On the Line.” Asking myself this question always gives me perspective and helps me gain focus when confronted with a fork-in-the-road moment in life. In other words, is the consequence or result of my choice worth the benefit that I receive on the front end? It works for me every time!

MY THOUGHTS

sometimes we wish we never have to come across those forks. and when we get to them, we avoid them. and the forks just keep on coming. i think the best decision makers are those who take a hold of those forks. sometimes they win. sometimes they miss. but they never avoid the fork.
