WHY DO SOME PEOPLE HAVE TO TAKE DETOURS AND OTHERS DON'T?

I always feel like I am constantly taking detours. It hardly goes the way I planned it. Don't understand why that is. Any ideas anyone?

@peri it sounds like a metaphor of where you want to go in life and how you're doing it. you're thinking at your own pace, going quickly. so you see others enjoying the scenery of life, and you're not, thus the asked question.

reply

This question, in my opinion comes down to personal life choices, or the choices you allow others to make for you. A detour is also defined personally, one mans detour is another mans normal route.

I try not to rely too much on my plans. I don't let myself feel thwarted by things changing, I just try to get better at changing. I also believe that plans only appear to keep us safe, they actually keep us stuck. Detours can give us new views, if we don't let them scare us.

reply

I think detours are important. Think of what you could miss if you go straight, eyes forward, directly to your destination. I never want to be that person.

Wonder how many people ACTUALLY pray for God's will in their lives as to their life's direction...2 or 3 words rote spoken isn't prayer. Wanna make God laugh? Tell him your plans.

reply

Detours are merely alternate roads to your final destination. Detours can be adventures and they can be more fun and interesting than what you might think is the direct route to your destination. The fun comes with what happens along the way when you don't plan. So take the detour and enjoy it!

Hmmmm, since I changed my mindset and belief system, everything has changed for me. I believe the journey is much more important than the destination as it makes us who we are if we learn our lessons along the way. I also believe everything goes right for me, and consequently, it usually does. I am not saying my life is without challenges, what I am saying is that I tend to manifest the very things I need to meet these challenges. My mum always says, "why does it always happen to me" when she breaks down in her car, etc etc And unfortunatley inconvenient stuff does usually happen to her. Change your belief and you will change your life :) Blessings

Everyone takes detours. Some people are better at making it seem like they don't (to themselves, as well).
