Life
has been like a road, some roads are big, and some are small. Some are
straight and some are topsy turvey. As roads would have it, there are
crossroads in life as well. The most confusing, baffling, difficult
whatever you call it, is the crossroad in life.
When
we face a crossroad, the mind comes to a standstill as to which road to
take? Which road is going to take us where! There are few roads, which
will lead you to happiness, fame, glory, and fortune, but on the other
hand there are few which would take you towards sadness, failure,
defeat, disappointments.
We
have to decide which road we would take with completely no clue where we
going to land at the end! No assurances No guarantees! Since life
offers us no guarantees and assurances, it's better to take that risk
and make that decisions because unless we don't decide, and go that way
we will never know whether the decision was right or wrong.
Instead
of standing on the crossroad better to move forward. It's not always
that the road, which we think is right for us, is going to give us
happiness, there are certainly going to be heartbreaks. You might not
achieve what you had thought, but at least you tried. We really do not
have power on the outcome but we definitely have the power of our
decisions. Taking risks, does not mean to decide in the spur of a
moment! Think and then move forward.
If
we had known that the road we are choosing is a wrong one and it can
make us lost, or the outcome is going to be bad, we would have never
decided to go that way. We will only know about the outcome once we walk
that road, whether the decision was correct or worthless.
When
we have to choose, we need to analyze the options we have, sometimes
the options are many, sometimes very few and sometimes none at all. We
need to weigh the pros and cons, make option of our own if we don't have
any! But at no point take decision haphazardly.
We
cannot find that confidence to decide at times, especially when we have
no idea what the consequences are going to be. Trust yourself and think
that it's the best decision at that point of time. Do not regret it
whatever the outcome, learn from it and make better decisions in future.
Always remember life will give us more chances to make right decisions.
And
after all, I believe it's all the matter of perspective, as to what you
want to be a lost traveller or accidental tourist, because you never
know which road opens which new horizon!
