You know the feeling.<\/p>\n
You’re at a crossroads. A decision point. A Frost-like place where two roads diverge in the woods.<\/p>\n
Which path to choose? You know you can’t travel both.<\/p>\n
Your decision will likely make a profound difference in your life.<\/p>\n
Should you marry that person? Take that job? Move to another state or country?<\/p>\n
It’s tough stuff.<\/p>\n

And there are times when we freeze with fear and put off making the decision at all.<\/p>\n
That’s even tougher. The anxiety is intense.<\/p>\n
Or maybe you don’t get to make the decision about what happens.<\/p>\n
Maybe it’s a game-changing event you have no control over.<\/p>\n
Your option is about how to react, what to do about the situation.<\/p>\n
Now what?<\/p>\n

A roadturn can simply be something someone said, something that had a profound influence on your thinking from that point forward.<\/p>\n
My own first conscious experience<\/em> with the phenomenon was seeing the video of Paul Potts at the Britain’s Got Talent contest in 2007. Paul’s courage in the face of fear, doubt, and social opposition helped me gain the courage to take my own chance and let go of the need for “absolute security.”<\/p>\n
