"No matter how far you drive, you're always the same distance from the ditch"
Yikes...this analogy hit hard. Especially with my own personal growth journey.
It's easy to imagine that I should be "past this", and I should have "outgrown" getting pulled into defensive coping techniques that don't serve me by now.
Still...it happens.
...and since it happens, it means I'm human
maybe as I drive the ditch becomes a little more gentle and rolling, maybe it's more solid, so I don't get stuck in the ditch so easy
This message is designed to bring about some empowerment that no matter how far we go, it's easy for EVERYONE to misstep and wind up in the ditch. Acknowledge it, make amends and move forward...give yourself a break
