Build Your Life To Order ™

I spoke of the purpose of circumstance in the last post and used the example of 2 people stopped at a red light. It reminded me of an interesting distinction made by Zig Ziglar about traffic lights. Do you ever call them stop lights? Do you think that’s a fair description? It’s not.

What if there were no so-called ’stop lights’ to stop you ,would that let you get to your destination faster? Of course not, eventually you would come to a crossroads where another flow of traffic cuts you off and you would go nowhere. If you live in a big city you might never get moving again. Traffic Lights let us GO places, they don’t STOP us going anywhere. Thank God for GO Lights. Likewise see obstacles in your life as temporary delays that serve you, not permanent denials that defeat you.
