What a way to start my day. I felt the frustration of waiting running through my veins. Every turn was a red stoplight. From EDSA, Makati Ave and Paseo de Roxas my timing was impeccable! I asked myself “WTH?! Did I wake up on the wrong side of the bed today?” I really don’t know.
The red light signaled me to stop. So I stopped and this came to mind. Red lights are like obstacles in our lives that has no other solution than to wait. Even if we wanted to do something about it, we simply can’t because there are other cars passing by. And it would be dangerous to run against the tide; someone could be really hurt if we force it.
After all, stoplights are there to keep traffic flow in order and to keep us away from deadly collisions. Maybe that is the very same reason why it is better to let go of things beyond our control. So that we won't be hurt. Sometimes we must just allow the traffic light of our lives give us the signal when to go, slow down and stop.
Then patiently wait for it to change colors once more.
