A Path Less Traveled

Ever wonder why the traffic going the opposite way is always clear when you are in a hurry and are caught in a jam? Ever wonder why when looking at the things we do in life, we had always seem to restrict our mind and be contented to follow what others are doing? Did we ever imagine that there could be so many other roads to take to avoid getting stuck in a jam? Maybe not many of us realize that we could simply avoid being stuck in a lot of tribulations in our life if we were to choose a path less traveled in the first place....

Looking at things from a different perspective, out of the norms, could be a good starting point before we choose which path to follow. The opposite would be following others blindly and worst still having a “herd mentality” and not knowing which direction to take - doing what the crowd is doing and being clueless of why it being so.

We have always been reminded by our elders not to follow others blindly if we want to avoid pitfalls and to succeed in life. We should be able to live our life to the fullest by doing what we love best. To enjoy life to the fullest could mean making sacrifices not many are willing to take.

Although taking the less traveled path can pose its own unique challenges, like being left alone and lonely, it can also be a rewarding experience for those who dare to thread its path. True enough, in reality not many of us dare to venture out of our comfort zone and worst to be labeled as "crazy" just to experience life beyond the norm.

Yes, following the less traveled path is a lonely journey not many are willing to take. But for those willing and crazy enough to risk their everything, they may find their pot of gold at the end of that grueling journey.

It has been said time and again, that those taking the less traveled path and able to survive at the end of the ordeal had lived their life to the fullest and achieved what others can only dream of - the pinnacle of their true potential.

It is a unique success story that can only be emulated by the dieharda and those willing to say "NO" to the crowd and take on the challenges throughout their epic journey to glory along the less beaten, less traveled path!
