A fork in the road

In taking the road less traveled

Risk is involved 

The path is unknown

The result uncertain

Who chooses this path?

Someone who longs for adventure

Someone who does not color within the lines

Someone who doesn’t need to be right every time 

Someone who has faith

Someone who is curious

The road less traveled can have many rewards

For the one dares to go where many others have not

fork in the road

“If you come to a fork in the road, take it!”
Yogi Berra (baseball player)

I’ve learned this the hard way!
So many times, I’ve come to a fork in the road
And stood paralyzed
Not knowing what to do!

I’ve weighed my options
A thousand times
I’ve liked something about this road
And something about the other one!

What led to my paralysis
Was fear of making a mistake
Not realizing that
That’s part of life

No one road leads to contentment
No mistake can completely break us down
There is no way to have all the answers beforehand
We need to take a leap of Faith and jump!

Secure in knowing that
We can get up from a fall
Falling and rising
Integral parts of life

It takes courage to make a choice
It takes strength to get up after a fall
But each time we rise, we’ll be stronger
Our courage and strength will multiply!
