One arrow. One man. Both lonely and silent, yet they have so much to say to us. We look at the arrow and the direction, and the message is obvious, "Go this way," yet we look at the man and he's going the other way. People often say, "Go against the flow, step outside the box, or don't be afraid to go off in your own direction." But that doesn't work for everyone, especially when the direction we should be headed is so obvious.
My arrow was a twenty-five year career in corporate communications which eventually led to developing our own photography business. Although it was a broad arrow, the direction I needed to take was obvious. Yes, there have been some blemishes and cracks along the way, but I was glad that I never turned my back and wandered off in the other direction.
So where does that leave you? Is there a bold arrow in your life that you chose to ignore? Did you even see the arrow, or did you miss the point altogether?
