Do you know where you are going to?

Diana Ross wrote this Song in 1976 and when you listen to it, it has a lot of meaning to it. It makes you stop and think. Do you like what life is showing you? Do you get what you hopeing for?

When in high school, the biggest step is when you graduate. It hits you one day that you have to have a path thought out. Sometimes that path is not the right one or has some turns on it that take us down a different road.

In today's market, this song should speak to us all as our path is unclear unless we have planned ahead. Stop, listen to the song, take a moment to reflect, and then decide what your next step is.

Do you know where you are going to?

I do.....

I am a boomer and I know Dianna Ross and the Supremes quite well. I could not help but notice that your last name was Thronton. We may be related as there was a clan of Thorntons that came from Ireland and settled this area.  Oh well.............

Bravo.  Very well put. The path can often get a little bumpy but you have to plan for the steep bumps life throws at you

Michael, you are correct about that. I was adopted when I was 6, so I was not originally a Thornton. And I do have relatives that live in them hills of Tennessee.

Hi Danny,

Good Post.  I always admired young people that just knew what they wanted to be when they grew up.  What an advantage it is to start working toward your goals at a young age.  

I am happy that I finally did find a job I love--it just never crossed my radar earlier.

Leslie, I can relate. I never knew what I wanted to be when I grow up.

Paige, I agree 100%.

Wow Danny!!  Pretty profound for a Monday...You've got me thinking!  I know WHERE but there are days when I don't know "how" to get there anymore so I have to stop and think.

THANKS!!

Susie, then I accomplished my goal. I wanted to make at least one person stop and think.

She should write a new song called, "Do You Like Where You Are Going To".  I know my recent "going in circles" or "going nowhere" is getting really old! :) HA!

Shannon, I know the feeling sometimes, but then I get back on track and mutter on along.

What a great way to make us stop and think for a moment. This is the perfect time of year to put that plan together to get us to where we want to go.

Love the song it is an oldie but a goodie.  Funny how you have plans and know where you are going then blam something happens and blows all that out of the water and you have to rethink those plans.  Sorry just a little melancholy this morning.  Great post though!

This is a great song! and a good way to get people to re-examine where they are and where they are going. While the road to our destination may take some unexpected twists and turns, and the final destination itself may change, the journey getting there is what makes each of us the unique individual we are.  Just think twice before you get in this car -->

From the looks of those women, I do not think that I would get into any car with them.
