What comes to mind when you hear the word ‘intersection’? Recently, I’ve had several things pop up related to the topic, so it is one of those paying attention to when coincidences converge moments.
Towards the end of the movie Cast Away, Tom Hanks finds himself at an intersection. His journey has been long and arduous, but having just delivered a package that kept him centered and going after surviving a plane crash and living on a deserted island for an extended period of time, he is literally sitting in an intersection trying to decide which way to go next.
Not many of us will face the circumstances Tom Hanks did in the movie, but we will all inevitably find ourselves in a similar situation trying to make a decision about the future. If you find yourself at just such an intersection, here are some thoughts I hope will point you in the right direction.
