As a Dallas native, you'd think Downtown Dallas(pictured above) would be a breeze for me. Not so much. I end up driving the wrong way on a one way street every time. It's as reliable as the rising of the moon. It WILL happen. It would seem that I can do nothing to prevent it. I just pray I make it out in one piece. One thing is certain though, I always find my way out. As it turns out most times, my adventures in avoiding head-on collisions often place me in the perfect spot to get out of the area. Go figure.
It occurs to me that life is really the same way. Sometimes we avoid things that seem like a "wrong way". We follow the signs that have been laid out for us...keeping our lives moving in the same directions as everyone else. The issue with this is that sometimes we need to get lost or turned around. We need to travel down that one way street because in the end, it will get us to where we need to go. Yes, it may go against conventional wisdom; hell, it may even be dangerous. Sometimes we have to take risks. Sure, there are roads that are well traveled and signs that tell us which way we should go, but hey...new roads are always being built.
The Bottom Line:
Don't be afraid of traveling the wrong way on a one way street. It may end up being the exact path you needed to take. Just watch for oncoming cars and chances are, you will still end up right where you belong!
