One thing I've learned about myself is that I have a knack for negotiating through obstacle mazes by being patient.
I watched "Raiders of the Lost Ark" on Saturday. The movie opens with Indiana Jones negotiating through a South American jungle, stumbling through a cave avoiding poison darts. He gets to the golden statue only to find that when he moves it, the entire cavern collapses. He learns that his guide is a bad guy. Both are chased out by huge boulder. Indy gets to the exit and finds his guide stapled to the wall with sharpened spikes.
I get through life looking through a tunnel. There are doors sliding back and forth. Suddenly, there's one moment when all the doors are open. That's when I act, or make a decision regardless of what others may think at that instance.
If I hesitate, because some guy says we should wait, or conjectures a potential problem, that means starting all over gain waiting for the tunnel to be clear.
Do I ever have second thoughts about decisions that I make? Over time, I've realized that there are always more than one way to get to the same end. Sometimes, particularly when the stakes are low, I'll go with another person's approach since the finish line is the same.
Like Indiana Jones, it's best to keep moving forward and not look back.
