Crossroads

Have you ever stood at crossroads, wondering which road would lead you to your destination?
Felt confused?
Bewildered?
Prayed you were choosing the right one?

I have!

Personally, it is difficult to choose between two options. And standing at the crossroads, confusion prevails.

It is probably a better idea to choose a road, figure out if it is smooth enough, and if not, return to the crossroads to choose the other.

But what if the other one is bumpy too?
Is it wise to keep going from one road to another?
What if choosing a road is irreversible?
What if crossroads are important decisions in life... such as family, career etc?

Decisions decisions... too many crossroads in life.

Reminds me of Richard Bach's 'One', where he talks about many of us starting at the same place, but turning out differently because of decisions we make at each junction.

"There is no dark side of the moon really. Matter of fact it's all dark."

  2. Yes, the one and only! And yeah, a li'l confused. A wee bit! Sometimes lack of choice is scary, and other times variety is.

  3. hey... we all face crossroads at out life and most difficult part of decision making is making the decisons which are irreversible ones.... but guess we all take that... not taking a decision is also a decision....
    just quoting a quote from Chaits blog
    "Take the first step in faith. You don't have to see the whole staircase just take the first step."
