Crossroads of life

in #motivational8 years ago

Life is a long road, full of twists and turns. It often takes you to crossroads and gives you no help or support in deciding which path to take. One always has a better outcome than the other, how do you be sure you are making the right choice you may ask.

The simple answer is that you don’t know for certain.
That path you took, the one that has left you with heartache, with regrets, wondering how to cope, you think it was the wrong path? NO it was RIGHT. Let me explain why.
If you took the simple road, the one that is straight what would you have discovered on your way? Would you have turned to look at that beautiful flower growing on the side of the road, or listened to that glorious sound of the birds in the sky. No you would have been focused on that path ahead and what was stood before you.
By taking the long way around, by feeling the pain or how hard life is, it took you on a journey of discovery, where you took notice of what is around you, where you sat and cried by the river, looking at the calm water before you. You learnt how to dance in the rain, you grew stronger. YES you are STRONGER. You learnt new skills, new ways to cope, how to change things to overcome the obstacles in your way. Be proud that you took that winding road, the one with all the rocks, the stumbling you did climbing up that hill.
You, yes you have reached the top. Be proud of the fact you got there .. if you have not yet reached the top then know that you are on your way, you are making progress, and the top will be there waiting for you. Consider the smile you will have on your face, knowing that your journey was one of discovery, both of yourself and the world around you.

Thank you, I really liked reading this.

thank you xx I think life is not often easy and we sometimes do not see what we can gain by the path we choose. I always choose the hard paths ..although sometimes would like to choose the easy one for once :)
