The ROAD LESS TRAVELLED

 The 'ROAD LESS TRAVELLED'

In the hustle and bustle of our life now [regardless where we live now], surely you have seen how life can be a 'RAT RACE', everyone on their feet early morning and hitting the sack quite late in the day.   To the fortunate few who live a very controlled life that is moderately paced to his/her liking, we envy you.  But for most of us all, we criss-cross highways and geographical boundaries to go for the goals we are all so focused to achieve.

So, what's really going on ?  The big chunk of the population [and that includes traffic] are all taking the same path, same direction.  Too bad that in that more popularly travelled road, congestion is too bad and sometimes even causing collisions and mishaps.  But the more bothering question is:  why can't we take that 'ROAD LESS TRAVELLED' ?  What's the upside if we take that path then ?

For my personal sharing, more than two decades back, on my own volition, I took the 'ROAD LESS TRAVELLED', flying off to a country I was never been and at a time when the airfare at that time costs seven times [yes, 7x] than today's competitive airfare [even prior to this pandemic].  With all the risks, I took that 'ROAD LESS TRAVELLED'.

Obviously, taking the 'ROAD LESS TRAVELLED' is just too daunting, intimidating and unnerving.  With all the risks that go with that 'LEAP of FAITH', it takes more than just the purpose and focus to take that 'ROAD LESS TRAVELLED'.  It means constantly reminding yourself that the path you're taking will likely reap dividends for you but only after a hell of hard work.

Fast forward, I can humbly admit that i did reap the dividends I envisioned for myself when I did take that 'ROAD LESS TRAVELLED' two decades back.  And I'd say I did achieve my goals in less than ten years.  And once I did have 'in the bag' my milestone achievements, i realized I was ahead of my pre-set timelines.  But obviously, looking back, I realized that that 'LEAP of FAITH' I took was a high-risk one but as the cliche goes, HIGH RISK equates to HIGH RESULTS.  In a nutshellm if you are eyeing a 'ROAD LESS TRAVELLED' but something's holding you back, go for it and take that 'LEAP of FAITH' now ❗❗❗
