In everyones life we have roadblocks and signs that symbolize where we are and where were going. The signs are similar to those that you see on the road when traveling, the difference is how you chose to heed them, or change direction in accordance to your goals and desires.

Some of the common signs we see are:

Proceed With Caution - When youre venturing out on the road of entrepreneurship, a new relationship, or a new venture you may see a big Proceed With Caution sign everywhere you go. This is not a bad sign. What you have to realize is that this sign is only telling you not to overlook details. Often when starting a business, one either moves too slow or too fast. The key is not to allow fear to interfere. Listen, learn and proceed knowledgably. You may learn from listening to your new business partner that he likes to cut corners and really doesnt care about legal ramifications. This may get you sued in the long run or worse land you in jail! A prospective lover may tell you that he or she needs recreational drugs to get aroused. This may work for you, but if not, its good to know. Its a prime example of proceed with caution.

Slippery When Wet - When you have to make decisions in life the Slippery When Wet sign sometimes comes up. The wet may be referring to emotional tears or the wetness caused by the influence of alcohol on the brain. Be of sound mind when you make decisions. Dont let your emotions color your judgment.

Merging Lanes is when two areas of your life are coming together. It can be your career and your love life, or your family life. It can be your health and your work. This sign is a forewarning. It gives you the opportunity to examine whats going on. Is your work affecting your health? Are you bringing your relationship or family baggage to work, or visa versa? Take stock of your environment. Dont let things escalate out of hand. Take heed to the sign.

DIP - When there is a decision to be made and youre not sure what to do the DIP sign may rear its face. It is only telling you to decide in prayer. Take your concern or question to prayer and leave it there. Your answer will come, just wait.

No U-turn In life you cant go back and start over. We all make mistakes. We say things we regret five seconds after saying them. Our hearts get broken. We miss out on what we think is a great opportunity. We just screw up. Thats life, there are No U-Turns. Were here to experience all kinds of things, all kinds of emotions. Whats important is that you learn the lesson and use what you learned to move forward in a positive way. You may learn not to second guess yourself. Trust your gut. Express your thoughts. Do the right thing. No experience is meant for bad, but they are meant to teach us something. Learn the lesson, bless the experience that brought it to you and move on.

The Stop sign is as clear as a bell. Pull over on the side of the road and just stop. Take a breath and come to terms with what is being presented to you. What you are faced with is what you have created. Stop being in a dead end, or abusive relationship. Stop overeating. Stop working at a job that is making you physically and emotionally sick. There is a healthier and happier solution, but you have to really want it. Stop and get clear that pain is not your only solution. Stop also has a completely different meaning at times relating to fear. There are those who allow fear to interfere and this sign is strongly telling you to stop blocking your blessings. Stop getting in your own way. Stop self-sabotaging. Stop allowing fear to rob you of your greatness. You know who you are, just STOP.

When the Green Light appears by all means go forward with confidence. When your gut or your inner voice tells you yes, dont second guess it, its time to reap your rewards.

There are many other signs in life that are there to remind us that there is a higher force that is trying to assist us in our day to day lives. We cant always have someone tell us what to, so its important in life to look for signs. When in doubt about something in your life, just say I need a positive sign about what to do, then put up your inner antenna and look, listen and wait. The answer will come. When we follow the signs that are presented to us we end up on the road to success, love, prosperity and happiness.
