As a Detour
Not all problems in life create dead-end spaces. Some problems catapult us into creative orbit. Some cause us to think. Others are merely detours.
How often have we found ourselves stifled by some problem for years, only to discover, later, that the problem merely sidetracked us. In time, we often find ourselves getting back on the fast track, taking up where we left off.
Careers can often be like that. We work in one area for a time, perhaps even for decades, and then suddenly discover another avenue of work for a brief period. We foray into the unknown, scout around in uncharted territory, and then reemerge on the other side of a thicket of years to take up residence again in the same house we were forced to abandon.
Many a problem goes away, as they say, in time. Or, to put it another way: time heals all wounds. Perhaps. Sometimes the wounds still leave a mark; others cast us off with a limp. But certainly it takes time to begin the process of healing. But healing also requires energy and commitment.
Consider where you are . . . you are likely not far from home. You may be merely on a detour. But time will bring you around. There are signs to guide you.
