If a loved one were on the brink of death and you were rushing to see them one last time, would you want every traffic light to be green all the way there?

Or would you prefer to encounter a red light or two along the way?

You only have this one chance; if you arrive too late, you’ll miss them.

When facing a major decision, perhaps stopping at a red light or two to carefully consider your next steps—how to avoid getting lost, how to prevent accidents, and how to arrive safely—might be a better choice for you than flooring the gas pedal all the way.

When you don’t know how to choose, it’s often because you’re afraid of losing! Afraid of change!

At life’s crossroads, pause briefly at a red light, and ask yourself: if I lose this, what then? If I change, what then?

When the green light comes on, step on the gas and move forward!
