Dear Humans,

When I drive to school in the morning, part of my commute is in the wrong direction. I’m trying to get to the interstate, so I can go faster on my next leg of the route. But I always feel a bit foolish while I’m driving north to get south.

Life is full of such moments. Sometimes we’re going in the wrong direction. But if we have a larger plan–a blueprint for getting where we want to go–and we believe in it and follow it faithfully, then we’ll get to our destination.

But if we’re just living life turn by turn, we’ll never end up where we want to be.

Sincerely,

Mr. Curt
