If We Had Road Signs To Direct Us In Life

Wouldn't it be nice if we had road signs to direct us in life? Not just for driving but for everyday decisions, or even major life decisions. Sometimes, a little direction would make all the difference.

"Dead End"

Ever heard the phrase "dead end job"? What if we were given a sign (literally) that this is where our career path was heading? Better turn around, that road will not take you where you wanna go.




"Detour"

Sometimes, life throws us unexpected changes. A little warning would be nice- just a slight detour in the path we were expecting to take.




"Bump Ahead"

Or maybe there's a bump in the road up ahead -- in this case, figuratively speaking. Whatever it is, brace yourself. Life is bumpy but at least you've been warned.


"Keep Right"

Or maybe you'd like to avoid that bump altogether. This sign could give you advance notice so you can prevent running into all of those obstacles.


"Slow"

Sometimes maybe you're just hustlin' and living life in the fast lane, but you need to just slow down, and notice things around you. This could be a reminder to chill out and be grateful for what you have.


"Turn Around/U-Turn"

Like the way that our lives often get redirected, and sometimes leave us with no outlet after we go down an unsuccessful road, here is a sign to tell us to just turn around and try something else.


"Intersection Ahead"

Or maybe a warning that we have a big decision to make ahead of us. A literal fork in the road, a metaphoric change of direction with our life.


Now, I believe in signs, that if we're paying attention to them, can direct us through our lives. But what if there were literal signs? Life is a winding road. The shocking twists and unexpected turns are what make it interesting, painful, and exciting.

One of my biggest pet peeves is when someone does not try to help their self before asking others. How can someone else be expected to help you if you do not first do that yourself? I'm all about helping those that need it when the time comes, however whenever someone does not even attempt to help him or herself first then that becomes a huge problem. As we all have learned, people tend to take advantage of us in one way or another. I am sure we all read this short story when we were younger and it follows that same principle:
