Warning! Catchy blog ahead!

Have you ever stop to consider how many warning signals you come across each day?

Every morning while I'm drying my hair I stare at the manufacturer's warning label which insists I don't set the hair dryer in the sink, or worse yet, try to dry my hair while still in the shower...

...when I stop at Starbucks, my cup reads something about my made to perfection beverage being "warm"...

...as I try and edit entries in our database at work, I constantly get these fancy little messages that translate into something like, "Delete this and you'll probably curse later and have to do ten times the work you'd prefer"...

...every time I end a session of Internet banking, the bank releases a statement advising me to close my browser before someone steals my identity, depletes my savings account, and charges millions on the plastics...

I think you get the point, right? So let's up the ante. What about the warning signs in life? Everyday, most of us engage in conversations, pursue (or ignore) relationships, and make choices that will ultimately help or hinder us along. How do you discern between what's working and going down in flames? How do you measure the success (or failure) of an outcome? What, or who, guides you along the process?

I know my answers, but today's blog is about finding your own; they're worth some careful consideration.

And remember, "If you play with fire, you're going to get burned!". How was that for catchy? ;-)
