I've taken the wrong road many times and it took me a very long time to realize it wasn't something I had to always do!
I've spent most of my life with blinders on, but I have chosen to finally take them off. I'm not sure if I'm on the right road sometimes, but I'm just trying to live a better life which I'm guessing is the right thing to do.
Thanks Randy. Yes I am sure many of us won't always know whether we're on the right road, but the road we take will often become the right road for us.
I agree with your sentiments when you say that living a better life is totally the right thing to do. It absolutely is.
Yes it does, but is it where you want to go?
Thanks Lisa. Great question. It's often not where we want to go, but often where we find ourselves which is where we're supposed to be.
I hope this answers your questions Lisa.

So there is no such thing as the 'wrong' road, it's just another road on our travels.
I agree. All roads are there to teach us what we need to know and therefore it's not the wrong road.
