The Other Road Ahead

Each of us demand more from our lives. We are constantly reassessing ourselves against the environment we live in, wanting our lives to be richer and more substantive. But at the same time we are held captive by the fear of the unknown, and are trapped in our strides with a reluctance to even try.

People who have unearthed their true calling have always intrigued our minds. Its their fight against the seduction of wealth, comfort and desire, that humbles us. Those who broke away from the norm, and followed their dreams, seemed so brave that we chose to tag them as heroes, as legends.

Should we make peace with our ambitions ? Should we make money first and then fund our dreams ? Should this be our destiny ?

The biggest obstacles to these questions are that we don't permit our minds to consider them seriously, for the fear of failure, the uncertainty of the outcome, and the doubts on our own capabilities shroud our reasoning.

Lets step aside for a moment and reflect back at the road that we have just traversed. How did we reach where we are today ? Did we not start off with just the pursuit of excitement on our minds ? Where we not armed only with our weakness ? Was not "fear" the only equipment we carried ?

If we seem to radiate wisdom from our choice of the road yesterday, why is it today, we can't seem to choose "The Other Road Ahead" ?
