Inevitably in life there will be times when circumstances cause us to take a detour while on our way to achieving our goals.  Some of these detours can be stressful or negative.  These can be financial issues or unexpected illnesses.  Then there are times when these detours may be positive such as moving or the birth of a child.  In any event, detours in life can slow down the momentum we have in achieving our goals and fulfilling our purpose.

Even though we may not know how long we will be detoured, it is important for us not to loose focus and remember the big picture.  Use these detours as a chance to learn as much as you can from the situation.  Life's detours can also be used to take a pause and to refocus and energize.  The important thing is that we get back on the right road and fulfil our destiny.
