I’ve been in Canada for more than eight years and always amazed with the way so many things are ordered and structured. One of these amazements is the traffic lights. It’s so cool to come to a red light and stop without anyone telling you to. I’ve been in another country where you had to look very well and possibly wait for 20 seconds before moving, even on a green light. This is because a crazy driver on the other side would most likely ignore the red light as everyone is in a hurry to get to theri destination.
Observing the lights and moving only when they are green is a great practice; nevertheless, I’ve seen so many people in life who never leave home, never get married, never write a book, never sing a song, never start a business, never go on a date, never preach a sermon, never go back to school, never embark on their dream adventure because they are waiting until all the lights are green
If you wait until all the lights are “GREEN” before you leave home, you’ll never get started on your trip to the top… Zig Ziglar
There are several reasons why people want all the lights to be green before the move, but the most common reason is because the last time they ran a red light, they were involved in an accident. Isn’t it funny how someone knows about someone who ran a red light and also had an accident?
Failure is an event, not a person… Zig Ziglar
What green lights are you waiting on/for? It’s fun to see the green lights all come on automatically and signal that it is time to move on. It's interesting to note that not all green lights will come on automatically. There are some green lights that will come on, when you turn them on. The truth is that most times we are wait on life to turn the green lights on but in reality, life is waiting on us to get started on our dreams and start moving
