Most of us have particular roads on which we like to travel. For the most part, we always go to and from work the same way, we go to the grocery store the same way, we go to church the same way. We do this so much that there are times when we totally disengage while driving and we end up, usually at home, and we don’t remember doing the drive at all. We know the route so well that we don’t even really have to be involved in doing it any more. Now this does not mean that this route is necessarily the best route to take, the easiest or the quickest, although we would probably argue that it is, but it is the route that we are most used to and so it’s what we do. And we stay on that route unless something pushes us off of it, construction, and accident or perhaps a major snow storm. Normally, there are multiple ways to do something, multiple routes to take, but we don’t take them because it’s not how we normally go and we don’t really want to change anything. We like our particular road just fine, thank you very much. Even if it’s not really working for us anymore, we’re going to stick to it, because gosh darn it we’re not quitters. Finding a different road isn’t really all that hard, most of the time, but it’s making the decision to go home by a different road that’s the tough part.
