Here at the Crossroads...

I stood at the crossroad a long while. One path, mysterious and inviting adventure, led deeper into the woods, into the unknown. The other into a clearing.

One, uncertain and long. The other, short and predictable, with all its twists and turns. Offering a journey that, while harder, had less regrets.

The life of greatest regret, is the life that has lived too safely, having risked little, invested little and missed the opportunity to impact the world.

The life of purpose, is one that abandons self-preservation; daring to embrace the hard road, offering love freely, and living with transparent authenticity.

I stood at the crossroad a long while. And then I chose the better path.
