Last week after a program in Chicago I needed to travel to San Diego. To save nearly a thousand dollars my ticket routed me through Atlanta and I soon found mysefl flying in the complete opposite direction of my destination.  Even though I had the time between programs to go this route… there was a moment that my thoughts were on the irony and insanity of the nearly 2000 mile detour.
In the end I made to San Diego without incident, saved the client $1000 dollars, watched a great inflight movie, did some e-mails, and met a a couple really cool people.
In school we are taught that the shortest distance between 2 points is a straight line. But in life the shortest distance between where we are and we want to go is almost never a strait line. I’ve learned, and am learning still, that perhaps the most important thing to “keep right” on the journey is your perspective. Because we will get there … and if we keep the right perspective we’ll arrive in a better state…not just a different one.
Keep RIGHT
