Just sometimes by going the wrong way this eventually  leads to the right way without us knowing it. Ultimately the right path comes into view and would not have been seen without the mistake having been made. This is the fickle element of life, tricking us at times but always being there to guide us along the correct path. So very often we make decisions through fear-based emotions which lead us along the most inappropriate road. Stop awhile and reflect as much as you can about the incorrect decision and you will see a lesson there to be gained. Upon reflection and with a smile on your lips you might just see that the wrong way became the seed for the right way forward.
