The Not-So-Obvious Signs

Some signs are obvious like a stop sign, a yield sign or a one-way sign.

Or are they obvious?

They are only obvious because I have learned their meaning. When I come across these signs I know exactly what I'm suppose to do.

Just like the road, life is full of signs. Unfortunately they are less obvious and harder to learn (and they're always changing).

When something bad happens, is it a sign from the universe to head in another direction?

Likewise when something good happens, is it a sign that you're heading in the right direction?

More importantly, who's to say what's good and what's bad?

Street signs are just that, signs. They are neither good nor bad. They just tell me what I should do or watch out for. It's up to me to choose whether or not I want to follow them.

What signs in my life am I ignoring?
