Crossing the Rubicon
A bit of Roman Empire history here. During the Roman Republic, the Rubicon River was the boundary between the Roman province of Gaul and Italy Proper [controlled by Rome and its allies]. When Julius Caesar Crossed the Rubicon, that precipitated the Roman Civil War which then led to Julius Caesar becoming a dictator for life. In our life, surely we have had our fair share of Rubicon Rivers which crossing we either avoided or ignored because doing so would mean taking a drastic and ultimate action which from our options and choices would seem to be one of our last preferred cards to play.If you never had that Crossing the Rubicon experience in your life, not to worry, you would have one within your lifetime. Those are the crossroads in our life which we dread to cross if at all for many reasons. But the overriding reason we really dreaded Crossing the Rubicon was the risks staring right in our face, risks which we were so hard press to mitigate, if at all. And that risk is the NO U TURN circumstance. Any takers ?Just like the DMZ [Demilitarized] Zone that divides North and South Korea. No one just dares to cross that DMZ because you'll be shot dead on the spot. But despite the horror stories of fatalities in their desperation to escape from North Korea, there have a handful who did Crossed the Rubicon. What could have pushed them ? Likely, that was the only time to really Cross the Rubicon.REGRET. GUILT. SHAME. These are three of the darkest emotions. any human will ever experience. And all of us did feel any or all of these at various points in our life [especially after making a 'bad' decision]. In truth and in fact, there are some situations where we try to rewind the situations and DELETE it ! In reality though, there are infinite number of reasons we should never regret any of the decisions we have made in our life.Instead, let us LIVE WITH WHAT WE HAVE because every decision gives you that single opportunity to take credit for creating your own life. By making any decision involving your heart, you have the chance to create more love in the world by creating more love by spreading yours. By experiencing the disappointment that might come with a decision's outcome, you can propel yourself up ✅✅✅No one size fits all. That explains why we're here, to share my 2-cents where it's worth it.
