They direct traffic as different vehicles head towards their different destinations.
The destinations are different but the rules are the same.
The traffic light tells us to stop — it’s someone else’s turn.
The traffic light tells us to go — it’s our turn.
Then the traffic light gives us a “heads up”… a warning that tells us to slow down because we will need to stop.
Think of how this correlates to accomplishing that dream of making your business a success, your music album reach an audience, your painting finding a home. They all have different destinations. The traffic light which in this case is time serves the rules.
Stop. It’s not your turn yet. Keep working.
Go. It’s your turn. Keep working.
Slow down. Someone else’s turn is coming up. Keep working.
Our cars remain on idle as we wait at the light ready to step on it as soon as it turns green. It’s similar when your “time” comes and you’re ready to move into high gear to make your dream a reality. Our mind/heart are always on idle. Never dead, just on idle for our time to come.
Then others’ time comes and we have to slow down and wait our turn.
