The Easy Road..



We've all heard that the shortest distance between to points is a straight line but does that mean it is the best route to take? Could it be that the long route is the most fulfilling? We all take the path of least resistance but is that always the wisest choice? What about taking the easy route, the easy way out, is it the best route? What if the harder route brings you what you really desire, what makes you truly happy?
The bible refers to a broad path and a narrow path, in the biblical scenario the narrow path, or the path less travelled is the one that leads to paradise, Heaven, fulfillment, Happiness.
It is true that there are fewer footsteps to follow on the narrow path, after all, it is the harder one so people choose not to take it. You won't find much help along the way again because no one will be on that path. It will probably be a lonely journey but it will be worth it if you keep your destination in view. I choose the hard path, the lonely path; I do not fear change and I welcome the challenge. I've fallen down, I've bled from the scrapes but bruises heal, cuts mend. I have made the hurt and loneliness my friend on this path before. Still, I choose this path because its rewards are great; success and accomplishment feels good. It builds self worth, confidence and strengthens you for the next journey.
Life is filled with crossroads, the path isn't always easy but don't choose the easy route or settle for less than what you desire from fear of the unknown. If you want to find me search on the narrow path, I won't be with the crowd that are faint of heart. You won't find me on the easy road. Until then...
