There are always doors to walk through. Sometimes those doors lead somewhere and sometimes they are a dead end. Yet all roads taken will result in experience and knowledge you didn’t have before.
I walked through a Dead End Door recently and took it all the way to the end. While hard, walking back down the road and out through the Door was the only way to move on and learn.
Life will often give you opportunities or roads that seem right, but for whatever reason they turn out not to be right at all.
Sometimes the situation will be right, but the people wrong. Sometimes the situation is wrong and the people are right. Sometimes, some things are not meant to be forever.
The question now becomes what can you take away from the situation?
What did you learn?
The above deer and his black unibrow make me think of Gerald Sampson, Maggie Simpson's arch nemesis from The Simpsons.
Dead End Roads of life should be looked at like a Mario Nintendo game—you can score some bonus points, get special tokens and suits, and learn pieces of the story to help you get to the next levels.
Some roads aren’t meant to travel long; rather, we travel them to collect information and experience.
Often, knowing what we don’t want is more important than knowing what we do.
Dead End Roads often remind us what we don’t want.
After resigning from my short-term job, I went to the beach. There, I had to feel yet another level to the dark night of my soul. Sometimes, things don’t work out, but you should never allow anyone to make you feel less than the valuable human you are.
Once off of the Dead End Road and out of the Dead End Door was when I had the opportunity to go to the beach—Long Beach to be exact. I didn’t know before I went that our Long Beach here in Washington is, in fact, the longest beach in the World.
Nevermind it was during the gnarliest weather of the year.
It was cathartic, that’s for sure.
There was one mostly clear day and it was then I took a hike in Cape Disappointment and, while on it, snapped a variety of photos with my iPhone Pro Max 11.
