Do Something!!
You're not gonna always know exactly what to do. The answers will not always be evident. Sometimes you'll come to a fork in the road, your map will fly out the window, and your GPS will suddenly crash...but you can't just SIT there! Choose one road and start driving...you'll know if you picked the wrong one, real soon...lol! And, in that case, you just turn around and go down the other.
This seems so obvious...but how many times do we just sit there? We stop, pull over and watch as everyone else is passing us by while we call our momma or our best friend and ask...which way do you think I should go? Then, we resort to looking in our past...and we all know how that goes. We all know that using the past as a determiner of our future is just Bad News Bears!
When situations like these come up...where you have no CLUE what to do. It's usually a test of the wills sent from God to see if you're REALLY up to going to the next level. Are you really ready to be a new person? Are you really ready to start that new business, that new career, or that new relationship? Will you have FAITH that everything is gonna be okay? Do you really believe your past is behind you? Are you ready to step into the unknown, no matter how scary, and take hold your beautiful future?
Well, the next time you come to that fork in the road, I tell you...DO SOMETHING! Trust me, you'll be glad you did...;-)
So often i find myself in park on the side of the road. This has been encouraging, Thank You...:)

Lately, I also have no clue as to what the next step should be.. and it really makes sense that that actual moment is really when God is testing your will. It's the time when the future seems so unsure and cloudy and almost like you are on the precipice looking downward and you dont know where you are going to fall...but God will always catch you no matter what. You might take some hits and scratches but you have to take the jump.. you have to move forward otherwise you remain where you are and stagnant. Comfort zones are so comfortable because you are where you are most comfortable. To move out of it and go towards the future the best thing you can do is to DO SOMETHING! This is so TRUE!! :-))

YES!!! I often find myself driving while on the phone with friends’ lol. Most of the time I know what street I should drive down but I tend to either second guess myself or want someone to agree with me before I make a final decision. "It's usually a test of the wills sent from God to see if you're REALLY up to going to the next level." I totally agree with this statement. I often pray to GOD to guide me to make good/wise decisions on current and future situations. However, when I'm place in a situation that requires a step from me, I run to my friends for guidance instead of having “faith” that I will make a good/wise decision. Thank you for turning on the light. :-)

Great blog! I can relate. I had a conversation with a friend a few weeks ago surrounding some of the same points you've touched on in your post. As I'm sure we all do, day in and day out, I hit that fork in the road. I have several choices to make...several options to take...and as a result, I have to make a decision to go this way or that way. While I never know what the outcome will be, I too, find myself "doing something"! Every now and then I take a hit because of stepping out and "doing something" but it's just preparation for what's to come! Thanks for the insight.

I completely agree. Always go for experience! Even if everything turns into a big ole mess, then at least you have something interesting to learn and develop from.
I would much rather make a wrong action than no action at all. The truth is though, there is no such thing as 'wrong' action. Just certain some things have more benefitial results than others.
