DAILYPROMPT: Put It In Reverse

When I hear "put it in reverse". Just take me back to those times where, like, where you just need to put up on that break, take on that gear, make a shift of the gear and move backward or move forward.

Imagine you have been on a full speed in your life. Then you just realize you missed a turn or you missed a step or you went on the wrong road, or you made a choice in life that did not align to your journey.

Maybe you picked up a job you shouldn't pick and it affected your life. Or delayed or paused your life for a moment or the relationship you embarked on didn't end well and you lost so much.

So I remember at this time, I was putting on my best, trying to be the best, working on my goal, burning the midnight candle. But unfortunately, halfway of my life, I realized that I missed the mark.

I was working on something that would not yield any results. I was busy searching for others, why I could not even get hold of anything for myself. And this is when, the moment, I would say I put it in reverse. Half of my work was gone, and I had to start over again. I felt like I failed. And I lost so much time.

But sometimes, this backward movement is the fastest way to get where you're going, because there's so much lesson behind this. Even in my relationship, sometimes I think about my previous relationship that didn't end well.

Or having a fight with a friend, or someone close to me. Instead of trying to move forward with pride, sometimes I grasp the reverse. And rebuild. Know that life is not a walk in the park. It's not one-way pathway, that everything's supposed to go smoothly.

Sometimes you have to revise and check about the past, and check, meet what you've missed. Fix what is broken. And at the end except about those regrets, body growth.

When you're stuck don't be afraid to put life in reverse. You might just find the right path along the way and do what is right.
