Old Gulph Road and Old Gulph Road

Due to a quirk and how the roads are laid out in an area not far from me, you can be at the intersection of Old Gulph Road and Old Gulph Road, it’s not that literally there are two streets that are named the exact same thing, it has to do with how one continues onto a perpendicular road, and so there are two signs at that intersection that say old Gulph Road.

I think it’s a great metaphor for life and decision making. We often think of decisions as having to choose between one thing that is better than the other, and our job is to figure that out. And in many cases, that’s true, but there are times in life where the options that we have are pretty similar and taking one over the other isn’t going to give us any great advantage.

So, if you’re in one of those situations in life, when you’re at the intersection of old Gulph Road and Old Gulph Road, be confident that no matter which way you go, you’ll be on the right road.
