As a delivery driver, I have to use the GPS navigation on my phone to find many places. Usually, it turns out really well. I stick in an address, it tells me when to make a turn, and I get where I need to be.
But, every once in a while, I end up heading in the wrong direction. I'm not paying attention and think it said to take a right instead of a left so I make a wrong turn, or I just miss the street and go a bit farther than I really need to. When this happens, my GPS never suggests to take a u-turn. I don't know why, but it always just recalculates a new route. It usually tries to make me do a circle around the block so I come back up the street the same way.
It's so easy to do the same thing in life. Easier than it is with driving cause you don't have a turn-by-turn set of directions for life. You can say the wrong thing at the wrong time, or miss an opportunity you should've taken.
When that happens, I think we try to do just like my GPS. We try to find a way to circle back around discreetly so we don't have to admit we made a mistake.
But, the thing is, circling back around can take forever compared to just making a u-turn.
