A few years ago I was driving down a familiar street, but was so distracted by the voices in my head that I started to make a right down a one way street. I knew the street wasn't where I was suppose to turn, but somehow I got confused and made the turn anyways. Luckily, I noticed the one way sign while still turning the steering and I was able to correct my mistake before an accident ensued.
Another time, my friend and I were leaving my house (which is on a one way street) when we were met at the corner by someone trying to make a turn into the block, to enter the parking lot. I proceeded to point to the one way sign, showing the driver that they were in fact in the wrong. Instead the driver got upset with my friend for not moving out of their way and allowing them to turn in to the block. I won't go into detail about the argument that took place between myself and the driver, but I never saw them again! :)
How many times has this happened to you? Maybe not while driving, but in your daily life. You make what you believe is a "right" turn, only to end up going the wrong way. It can be disheartening, depending on the situation. It can throw you off track and cause you to lose focus. Which may be a double whammy, if you were already listening to too many voices (like myself).
But the wonderful thing about a one way street, is most times, at the end of the block there is an outlet. There is a way of escape and correction. We don't have to be stuck going the wrong way forever. There are opportunities for us to make corrections and get back on the right road. So don't worry too much, sometimes the "right" road is just ahead.
