“You're traveling through another dimension, a dimension not only of sight and sound but of mind; a journey into a wondrous land whose boundaries are that of imagination. That's the signpost up ahead — your next stop, REAL LIFE” (TZ)

| Read the road signs - time to make a turn |
Let's face it. It's so hard to change a bad habit. The longer we allow the habit to remain strong, the more difficult it is to break it. But it can always be broken. Always.
You're driving down the road as the numbers continue to roll forward on the odometer. Enjoying the scenery, you smile as the warm sun beats down upon you through the window. Appreciating every moment, you feel thankful that you're alive and well, heading towards what you anticipate will be a great trip. Yet, after a while, you take your eyes away from the beautiful landscape ahead, and glance at the signs. Suddenly, you realize that you've been driving the wrong way for miles!
"Ah, forget it! Just continue!" you tell yourself. "After all, the scenery is so fantastic!"
This doesn't appear to be very realistic. If a person has a destination, he would most certainly turn around immediately and head in the right direction. Yet, what would happen if a person forgot his destination? Or entirely forgot he had one? Would he turn around after all?
This world is quite a big place. It's easy to get lost. But the key is to remember that we have a destination. A very important one at that. We cannot become distracted or else we may lose our vision. Our mission. Our destination.
Keep your eyes on the road signs - they'll lead us in the right direction. Don't lose focus. However, if you're perceptive enough to realize that you're going the wrong way, find that first "U Turn" sign and turn right around! The scenery isn't worth it! Your destination is so much more important!
Say to yourself ten times today:
"Hashem, please lead me and help keep me in the right direction - I don't want to get lost!"
