The Road Less Travelled…
How often we must bear the challenges of life;
The endless roller coaster between happiness & sorrow;
The constant ups & downs of daily strife.
And always the question remains…
Why?
Life is not an easy road for most;
It twists & turns with many forks in the road,
Although always & inevitably, we are given a choice…
Do we turn to the right…
or the left?
Do we take the high road…
or the low road?
Do we take the easy path…
or the difficult one?
Decisions are not easy for those struggling for direction…
And sometimes the many choices & signs become overwhelming…
While standing at a crossroads in life,
The urge is to take the most comfortable path;
The road with least resistance…
The shortest or most travelled route.
And yet, if we’ve been down that comfortable road before;
Have gleaned its lessons in life & learned from our experiences;
Do we yet again follow the known?
Or does our destiny lie in another direction?
The fear of the road less travelled is tangible & all too real;
It manifests itself in many ways,
And tends to cloud the issues that might otherwise be clear.
It is in these times of confusion,
That we must seek peace & solitude;
Time to contemplate on our life,
Our experiences & our choices past;
Time to look back & reflect on what we have learned.
Without fear or confusion…
For only each of us knows our own personal thoughts;
Our unique past & personal history;
The experiences that brought us to the crossroads we now face.
We can always learn a small degree from others experiences,
And yet…
No one person can walk in our shoes,
Others know not, the trials & tribulations faced in private…
For each is individual…
Unique…
& personal.
And that is why…
while standing at a crossroads,
Only “we” can formulate the decision for ourselves;
The true direction that lies within;
The choices we must deliberate on with clarity & wisdom…
For it is only through personal reflection,
That we can now choose our destiny;
… Our next adventure;
… And the future we will embrace.
Just me,
