UPS is thinking outside the box

I recently read a post entitled "'Right' turns only" on Dan Miller's 48daysblog. He is the author of 48 Days To The Work You Love and No More Mondays. In it he explains that UPS expects 90% of the turns their drivers make to be right turns. "By turning right whenever possible they saved over 28 million miles of driving and three million gallons of fuel."

He goes on to ask "What if you could find the “right” turns in your own life, avoiding the ones that wasted time, money and energy?" Is that possible? Is there any chance of me avoiding the left/wrong turns? If only I could be convinced that planning ahead and making decisions with a definite purpose would lead to greater success, spiritually and occupationally.

Colossians 1:9-12
[I do] not cease to pray . . . and to ask that [I] may be filled with the knowledge of His will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding, so that [I] will walk in a manner worthy of the Lord, to please Him in all respects, bearing fruit in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God; strengthened with all power, according to His glorious might, for the attaining of all steadfastness and patience; joyously giving thanks to the Father, who has qualified [me] to share in the inheritance of the saints in Light.
