Lyft. Riht. Crossroads

Sometimes when I look back
and think of all the could-have-beens in my life
I often wonder:
Did I make the right choice?
Did I miss a road sign?
Am I on the right track?
CROSSROADS.

Sometimes when I look back
and think of all the could-have-beens in my life
I often wonder:
Did I make the right choice?
Did I miss a road sign?
Am I on the right track?
CROSSROADS.
They happen all the time
Saying goodbye to some
Choosing only one..
Letting go, holding on..
Settling for now
But facing what must come..
Yes, in life we all reach a crossroad sometime
We make painful decisions
and take some risks as we pursue our dreams.
But one should not stay at the crossroads too long
For even the birds have to leave their nests sometime
and learn how to fly.
Life's road is a long and rough
and there are stretches when one has to do it alone
And should you meet the cross at the road
Be consoled!
Yes, more often than not
..the road less travelled  will surely bring you home.
Face the light and the shadow falls behind you..
Turn your back and the shadow stays in front of you.
Indeed the truth hurts
but it will surely set you free.
The bitter pangs of parting will give birth
to another moment called growing.
So grow on.... until it's time for you to move on
and face the crossroads again
Knowing that God loves you
and is in control of everything.
Be strong at the crossroads.
Embrace the cross at the road.
The Lord is at the cross
at the road...
at all your crossroads..
Choices. In life, you'll chance upon plenty of those - a mere what-to-do, where-to-lead or when-to-leave and more often than not, important ones that shall eventually have significant consequences on your own and the lives of others.

It is in decisions made that true strength is tested. You make decisions that you are happy with and quite happy with the foreseen outcome, but taking into account someone else' feelings makes it more difficult. It's during these times that you will be challenged to draw a thin line from what's easy and what's right - what's perceived as, seemed so or quite right. It'll require of you to display great strength to give up something, and to wait for the unknown for someone else' sake.

I’ve always had this strong belief that life is not all black or white, but, at any moment, a shade of vagueness… that no matter how well-thought-of a choice was made, it will never exactly result to what is expected, but all the same you still have to make a choice to get you somewhere. You should make a choice that will get you somewhere because choosing not to make one is losing the opportunity to succeed or learn. You should decide no matter how uncertain the road is. The end may never be a clear one but it neither is a failure. It will only be a triumph or golden lessons you’ll learn (an armour for the next journey you will be treading; a guideline for the next choices you’ll be making).

Life will always be a crossroad. Gray will always the road be; grey will always be how it ends. Lyft will always be a choice but riht should always be taken.
