Motivational Power Quote

Know When To Change Your Course

“No matter how far you have travelled down a wrong

road, turn back.”

Turkish Proverb    

As I see it. . . . . . . .

Know when to change your course  

There will be times that you have committed yourself to follow a course of action where you have invested . . . . your time, energy and resources to follow that path. After you have expended a massive effort to follow that path . . . . you may find yourself headed in the wrong direction.

The question becomes what do you do?

When you have determined that you are on the wrong path . . . . and it will be impossible to achieve your objectives . . . . and you know have to change your course.

Unless you adjust your course you will continue to invest your resources to continue to go down the wrong path. You will see yourself moving farther and farther away from your goals.

You have to be very careful about going down the wrong path because not only will you be wasting your time and resources it will also be effecting your emotions. The farther you go down the wrong path the more emotionally attached to the journey even with the knowledge that you’re moving in the wrong direction.

You will have to dig deep within yourself and relay on making the right decision . . . .  and to have the courage to adjust your course and let go of the past. Other wise you will expend your resources and emotional capital on a dead end journey.

Adjusting your course is not giving up on your goals. What you’re doing is adjusting your strategies to achieve your goals.

There is more then one way to reach your goals. Adjusting your course is creating a plan B and effectively implementing that plan to achieve your original target by moving in a new direction.

You have to know when to change course your and adjust. When that time has come, take bold action . . . . and change your course. Your adjustments will get you back onto the right path with renewed energy and move you in the direction of your goals.
