The Road Less Traveled

We've all had to make decisions at one point in our lives or another that are not fun to make. Do we take the safe road, the road with light and pavement and all the shrubs cleared, the one with road signs and lanes and order? Or do we take the road less traveled?

It's dark and dusty, and a heavy layer of brush covers what may be sharp drops and thorn bushes. We're going to get scratched, burned, cut, beat up, disoriented, and lost. But there is something at the end of that road that holds more value to us than the never-ending safety of the clear road.

Stepping out onto the unpaved road means preparing yourself for heartache, for struggle, and for pain. But it also means adventure and excitement, and learning something about yourself that you may not have known before.

Just a thought.
