As I drive to and from work on the Ndola-Kitwe Road, I
have on occasions come across heavy downpour of rain. This can be frustrating
as I have had to pull over or proceed with extreme caution arriving late for work or an appointment.
That is what happens with life, a condition (bad weather)
may arise along your “journey” which negatively affects the quality of your life. This may be an illness, relationship problem, loss of loved one, employment or business, etc. This
can affect your ability to “drive” through life at the pace you might have wanted
to.
Trying to maintain your normal busy life while facing
certain conditions is tantamount to driving your car at 180km/hr in very bad
weather because you want to reach your destination (goals) on time. You are risking your
life as well as that of the passengers (loved ones).
Sometimes, its better to slow down and focus on taking care of that one condition.
Park on the side and go to the hospital, rehabilitation centre, a holiday or take whatever
action which will significantly improve the situation.
Clearing that one condition (bad weather) in your life leads to a better overall experience as you get back on your journey.
You may certainly miss out on reaching your destination or goal on time but like they say “it’s better late than never.”
