Do you ever wondering if it is always best to look before you leap? Sometimes, the apprehension of falling keeps us from leaping in the first place. Recently, I began reading a book by Paulo Coelho entitled The Fifth Mountain. In the book, Mr. Coelho states that the paths that are chosen for us are ours to follow alone. No matter how much we try to avoid them, all experiences lead back to the same path.
Those who know me know that my path was chosen in high school. Since graduating, I have attempted to circumvent this several times, but that path is where I find my greatest happiness. In my life, all roads do lead to Rome. I am currently looking at a teaching job that I know will take away any energy that I have left, available economic resources that I worked tirelessly to obtain, and perhaps derail many actions already taken. However, the benefit does outweigh the risk. I compiled a list of pros and cons, like I always do. The cons are sky-high, but so are the rewards! In this instance, the act of looking is scarier than just blindly leaping.
We will never get lemonade if we only complain about how sour the lemons are in the first place.
