Journey: Wrong Turns


Wrong Turns !                 Wrong Turn !                   Wrong Turns !!!!!!!!!!!

All of us make assumptions about the future, some predictions that guide us or even give us motives while other predictions can make us afraid of moving forward.

Some may say: I will have my own business and I will be married soon and my son will be looking up for me and taking me as his role model and so on. And that's how we predict something that gives us hope

While somebody else would say: I will go to hell. I will have a distracted family and my marriage will end to divorce like any other marriage. And that's why you can hear from someone that he/she won't ever get married. 

Predictions and assumptions about the future make us take a lot of important decisions that would affect the future so that can build or destroy our picture about the future.

From here comes the word "I REGRET". If I asked most of you to tell me something he/she regrets it, some of you will say a lot of situations and decisions while a group of you will say " I never regret something"

Sorry but this is untrue. You 100% have a lot of somethings to regret but it is buried deep inside. You are moving faster that's all.

And here comes the definition of Wrong Turn: A decision or occasion that changed the present  in a way that changed the picture drawn by you about the future in a disappointing way. And this decision is what you will blame later when your dream fail.

Wrong turn also could be some moments of weakness when you give up something or leaving the right track.

I have a lot of things that I regret

I regret losing some people
I regret knowing some people
I regret that I accepted ..........
I regret that I missed ............
........
........

And this feeling is not USEFUL :) Nothing will happened and nothing will be changed because I regret something.

Why ... Because there is no wrong turn :) I call it WRONG RIGHT TURN

I believe in this: عسى ان تكرهوا شيئا و هو خير لكم و عسى ان تحبوا شيئا و هو شر لكم

I have this team that I worked with in 2009 and I regret just working in this project but when I looked to it later, I realized that this tough moments I had in 2009 was just a preparation to what I was going to achieve in 2010.

And I thank ALLAH for all this.

I believe that there is no wrong turns.

There is RIGHT WRONG TURNS.

Right for me later
Wrong to me now
Turns me to a better place isA

You should regret things but as a learning lesson. Crying and whining is not a solution.

Think about any decision you took as as an experiment and at the end you will have new useful data plus you will have another chance to make things right :)

RIGHT WRONG TURNS

If I predict something and it went wrong I will make use of it till it turns right.

And like "Meet The Robinsons" Movie said ----> KEEP MOVING FORWARD

THE END

  1. first time to visit your blog
    i agree with you , well life changes... so each day we change , or ideas change , our perspectives change and all of this according to all the surroundings, people we meet everyday , occasions we go to ...so i agree on the point that there are no wrong turns , may be there are bad decisions but on the day we took this decisions we had to take them , we saw them right , they were convincing so after that when our perspective changes we cant call it a wrong turn
    i like this quote it may help
    "Past is Experience. Present is Experiments. Future is Expectations. Use your Experience in your Experiments to achieve your Expectations."
