Crossroads
Two crossroads lay ahead and you must choose
Which one of these roads to take.
These roads, they weave and turn and whose
To say which one is best, for they bare few clues;
As you hope upon hope not to make a mistake.
You can only imagine where these roads lead;
As they both end far beyond your view.
Each road would fulfill a different need:
Of comfort and risk; both opposites, indeed.
The comfortable one seems old and the riskier one seems new.
Each road beckons you differently, it seems.
The comfortable one is closer with a familiar view;
The riskier, more distant, like the road in your dreams;
The road of passions and hopes and schemes.
The closer one looks traveled by many, the more distant by few.
Down the familiar you would follow, down the other you would lead.
With you're confidence high, you're prepared to win,
And believing that you will always succeed,
And trusting yourself, are all that you need.
So, you choose the road where few have been.
You shall gladly tell generations, of a future day,
With a grateful sigh and a knowing nod, this story;
Of when two roads beckoned you in a different way,
And you took the one of dreams and schemes, only to say
That you soared and swooped and found your glory.
(An Original Poem by Mel Kaye)
I strongly suggest that you write down your immediate reaction, after passionately reading this poem.
- What are your crossroads (be specific)?
- Which road would you like to travel, and why?

Excellent post Mel.
I'll answer the second question here. I would take the less traveled road. I would much rather lead than follow. Have a great day. :)
Sandee,
I love that you answer my questions. You are a great example of someone who has a excellent sense of self. I wish I could find a way to get the people out there who are still struggling with "who they are" to read this stuff. My entire "Process", which has been about 60% posted is intended to help people to be prepared for the "success" they will either create of stumble upon. The "Process" is the core of my site.
Another great post. I try to follow the road to my dream as much as I can. However with the constraints of raising a family and earning money.
Marja,
I know.......life has a habit of getting in the way. However, if you "hold on to that dream" you will find a way. Just remember to separate the fulfillment of your dream and happiness. The raising of your family should bring you much happiness and fulfillment. Happiness is a choice. Again, separate happiness from your dream.
Thanks, you are right. It's good to come here. Keeps you on the right track
Marja,
I love that you are a frequent visitor. Thank you for that.
