Lost!

Some things I need to know about life, I learn through running.

Today I was feeling a bit cocky and thought that my usual route here at lavender just wasn’t enough, so off I went trying to discover a new route. At first I was amused at how far I’d strayed off. After a while I got so distracted that I did lose my bearings and got myself lost. Below is how my run ended up looking like 😐

I guess what I learned is that if you’re going to be deviant, and want to “stir things up a bit”, you’ll still have to be responsible about maintaining common sense, and always have yourself in check. You should never lose yourself in the moment so much that you just follow where things lead you. You have to keep a straight head about making sure you know where you’re going, and you have to be humble enough to admit you’ve gone astray. At this point, you stop, think, recalibrate and go for it. Mistakes are part of everything. And as long as you know to realize it when it happens, and are able to correct yourself as much as possible, then you’ll be fine.
