You are standing at a crossroads. To the left is stability, responsibility, familiarity. Society expects you to go left. Your parents expect you to go left. You expect yourself to go left.
To the right is the unknown, fear, uncertainty. Most people think you would be crazy to go to the right, and you know that you are not “supposed to” go right. Society would certainly not approve. Yet there is a yearning inside your heart. Despite the fact that your head, your logic, your reason all tell you to go left, something inside your spirit is tugging you in the other direction.
So which way do you go?
If you are brave, if you are courageous, if you are valiant, you will go right. For he who walks boldly into the face of fear, trusting that which he cannot see, knows that he will be rewarded with the true bounty of the Universe.

There’s no cute answer to this one, or rather, there’s endless cute answers to the question, but they echo what your respondents want to be seen as, and bluster aside, more likely than not they head left.
For me, well, I used to run right as fast as I could, and now I’d likely trudge slowly to the left and daydream of being back at the fork, remembering what it was like to choose, and praying I come across another fork down the road where I can start it all over again.
Sooo true! Thank you! Love this! Just wrote on crossroads. That’s funny. 🙂
Somehow I am not surprised. Synchronicity abounds. : )
Yes definitely! 🙂
[…] risk that I have taken. In January I lost my job at my second start-up, and I found myself at a crossroads. I could either continue to look for work in the corporate/start-up world, which had become my […]
You have helped me keep the light of my burning. No matter whatever, the storms be on my. It helps understand myself and move ahead with fresh energy.
Thank you.
