Crossroads

There are moments in our lives when we find ourselves at a crossroads. Afraid. Confused. Without a roadmap. The choices we make in those moments can define the rest of our days.

Of course when faced with the unknown, most of us prefer to turn around and go back.

But once in a while, people push on to something better. Something found just beyond the pain of going it alone. And just beyond the bravery and courage to let someone in.

Or to give someone a second chance.

Something beyond the quiet persistence of a dream.

Because it is only when you are tested when you truly discover who you are. And it is only when you are tested that you discover who you can be.

The person you want to be does exist. Somewhere on the other side of hard work, faith and belief. And beyond the heartache and fear of what lies ahead.

  • The Road Not Taken
    Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
    And sorry I could not travel both
    And be one traveler, long I stood
    And looked down one as far as I could
    To where it bent in the undergrowth.

    Then took the other, as just as fair,
    And having perhaps the better claim,
    Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
    Though as for that the passing there
    Had worn them really about the same.

    And both that morning equally lay
    In leaves no step had trodden black.
    Oh, I kept the first for another day!
    Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
    I doubted if I should ever come back.

    I shall be telling this with a sigh
    Somewhere ages and ages hence:
    Two roads diverged in a wood, and I--
    I took the one less traveled by,
    And that has made all the difference.

    Robert Frost (1915)
