Two roads diverged in a wood, and I--
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference
-Robert Frost
I try to live my life by taking the road less traveled - not to be different, but so that the truth in life can be discovered from within my own being and not recited to me from an outside source. When things are normal it's too quiet, too rehearsed and too orthodoxed. That means few people are thinking and living outside of the man-made box we dwell in. Sadly, we are influenced by others, more than we are influenced by our own inner guidance.
Outside of the box may get a little scary but it's where adventure and self discovery playfully dance in and out of an invisible life and energy field that is free flowing and forever changing. Actually, I think most people follow the norm because change is undetermined but an occasional metamorphosis is necessary if we intend to grasp all that life has to offer.
Funny enough, there is always two roads to choose from; there is always an alternative route and there is no bad choice. They will all lead to the inevitable lesson you're sure to learn - whether now or in a prolonged future.
I believe it is encouraged for us to follow those who have paved the path before us because then everyone will know your every move and thus you can be easily influenced and often manipulated. If you go where no one has gone before, then there will be no one to dictate the outcome of your desires - no one but you!
As Robert Frost said, taking the road less traveled has made all the difference in his life and isn't that what we are all looking for? Yes, we are all trying to make moments of miracles to enhance our lives and the lives of those we love.
Namaste
