Convinced that it’s our lane,
we travel on the same path.

Certain that we’re going the right direction,
we head steadily down this road without any deviation.

Unaware that we’ve been following
a borrowed an outdated roadmap,
we stay the course.

Never questioning if we’re heading in the right direction
or if the roads have changed,
we go through the motions.

Until the day that we look around and
notice opportunities that we’ve passed by.

Until the day that we take the exit ramp
and find a new path.

Until the day that we realize it’s time
for a new destination.

Let’s Stay Connected:
