Wrong Turns in Life: HOW do I know when I've taken one?

In the last two posts we discussed the importance of ''pathways'' in our lives. How the decisions we make (or don't make) take us to the path to a destiny. We all have a path we have to tread towards our destiny here on earth and in the afterlife. My passion is to help everyone of us to make right choices/decisions so as to tread in a path that leads to prosperity, health and happiness now and in the eternity.

Lifepath has road signs which warns us if we have taken a right turn or not; all we need to know is ability to look out for the signs, read and understand then act timely. 

In this post we talk about how we know when we have taken a wrong path; how do you tell when you have made a wrong decision, taken a job not meant for you, a business not suitable for you a city not meant for you or initiated a friendship that will lead to disaster…here is how you know – 5 THINGS - Signs that tells you if you are on track or not.

1. Peace of Mind:
Chaos and Busynessness is your No.1 ENEMY, why? because they take your focus away from the path while at the same time create so much noise that you don't hear your spirit groaning and shouting that you have ''missed'' a turn.

When an opportunity passes us by, either by disregarding it or being unaware of it (mostly because we are fixated on other things) we continue on a path not meant for us. In this case we have taken a wrong turn by missing the right turn.

If you take time out everyday to silently meditate and consider your day, immediately you will 'know' when a turn is missed…the way we know is by ''inner peace''. When there is no peace inside, TAKE TIME OUT and listen. Take a notebook with you into a silent room and WRITE DOWN what transcends from your spirit.

HINTs:
'I have never met a successful person who is not protective of his/her FOCUS and TIME
'Learn to withdraw from the chaos and life to have ''quiet'' time to meditate daily and plan ahead
'Your SPIRIT knows what your mind doesn't, time out will reconcile the difference to your good

2. Finances:
Money is not a miracle, it is a reward for service. How much you earn is determined by, 1. What Service you give, 2. How good you are at it - Competence, 3. How easy is it to replace you.

When a company prospers it makes profit, when the profit dwindles CEOs, CFOs and MDs meet to discover what is it they are doing wrong. We ought to do the same in life, when we hit money crisis it is a sign that either we are NOT where we were meant to be or we are indeed at the right place but we are not doing what we were meant to do.

Your life is your business, mind your own business; if your business is not making positive cashflow, it is time for a TIME OUT to consider. . .you must have wondered into a wrong path. Sit down and meditate how you will negotiate for a U-turn back to your right path.

HINTs:
'Life gives us what we negotiate for not what we deserve, life is not fair…believe it, get over it!
'Don't you ever miss the turn to learn the art of negotiating (from mentors, books, lectures etc)
'Bad finances may be due to lack of 'money skills', ignoring and or rejecting 'laws of prosperity'
'When you take a wrong turn, the little money you have will dry up quickly, take notice!

3. Pain:
When you have a headache you know something is wrong, it is a signal to a problem – a headache is not a problem in itself rather it helps you to know that there is a problem somewhere and you need to find the problem and fix it then the headache will disappear.

Pain let us know that we have wondered to a place/path not meant for us; listen to your pain, it talks to you. Pain tells you what to stop doing and what to start doing. Put a finger on an open flame and immediately you get the pain signal to remove your finger.

When in pain, your spirit is groaning and your mind (soul) receives these negative feedback and convey them to you in a form of depression, unhappiness, moodiness, fear etc PAIN is not your enemy, it is your signal to pay attention that either you are about to take a wrong turn or you already have…pay attention, listen carefully to your pain, they speak LOUD and clear.

HINTs:
'Wrong doing brings pain,
'Wrong environment brings pain,
'Wrong companion(s) bring pain,
'Right doing at wrong time/place brings pain,
'Listen to your pain, it talks to you!

4. Favour:
"Go where you are celebrated not where you are tolerated" Dr Mike Murdock, Jesus Christ said, when people don't receive you, don't sweat it, dust your shoes and leave (Luke 9:3-5). When favour runs out in your place of work, relationship, country that you live in. . .it is time to pack and leave, assuming you did not contribute to bringing disfavour to yourself.

HINTs:
'People and environment will favour you because you are in the right place at the right time
'When favour dries up, take notice. . . are you at right place, time,  doing the right thing?

5. Passion:
Your passion speaks loud and clear to you; when you are in a place where it becomes mundane and painful to perform…take notice, you have just taken a wrong turn. Passion flows when you are doing what your creator meant for you to do…your gift in the right assignment.

HINTs:
'It is possible to abuse your passion, i.e. to use it to destroy people and or environment
'God gave us passion to use it to protect and serve, especially those who are vulnerable
