Take The High Path

The Higher Path Beckons

 
“Normality is a paved road: It’s comfortable to walk, but no flowers grow on it.”-Vincent Van Gogh

Life is grueling. Make no mistake about it. It isn’t easy for any of us. Despite what is constantly promoted on social media, life is not sunset cocktails and smiles on the beach. Life is a constant series of challenges that we can either give in, give up, or give it our all. Sadly, the latter option is rarely chosen.

Why is this the case?

Because many seek the easy road. They seek the comfortable and paved path that the multitude follows. They don’t even question this path, let alone where it leads. It must be the correct course as everyone else is following it. So, the multitude follow this easy path into universities they cannot afford to obtain degrees that they cannot use, careers that they don’t enjoy, and relationships that aren’t meant for them. They bemoan their fate, wondering how so many years were lost and where they went wrong.

This is the height of foolishness. You are not made for the assembly line of life. You are made for adventure, creation, struggle, and victory. You have one life and it is up to you to determine the course. This is difficult. It is a very heavy burden of responsibility and freedom. This requires an ability to endure, to persist, and to keep focused on something that no one else can see but you.

Few want to partake in this. It is frightening. It is painful. It is difficult. It may even be insane. But you must take a part in stepping off the easy path and into the unknown, especially if you want to grow and succeed.
