The Path Less Traveled

Think about how often you listen to that voice inside your head.  

Now think about a time when life was uncertain.  It can be about anything.  Trying new food.  Visiting a new country.  Asking that person out. 

Now think about what that voice usually tells you to do in times like this.    

Does the voice encourage you and your curiosity?  

Does the voice restrain you from exploring and keep you in your safe bubble? 

Is it keeping you from harm or actually doing more harm to you? 

It's offering you the red or blue pill (purely a Matrix reference!).  Which one are you going to take? 

Many times our voice acts as our lookout.  It's protecting us and that's a good thing... well that is until it becomes an obstacle to our growth.  This is how we sometimes find ourselves in a rut.  Stuck and unable to move.  

How does one get out of that rut? 

Well... you can start by taking the path less traveled.   

What does that really mean exactly? 

Taking the path less traveled is really just about opening your mind to the limitless possibilities of this world.  Allowing yourself to feel a variety emotions and seeing how two opposing emotions can create a sense of adventure.  

It means allowing yourself to understand that with the risk of fear, comes the excitement of the wonder of new possibilities.  

It means letting go of the irrational beliefs that we sometimes hold to be true and finally realize that those irrational beliefs are exactly that - irrational.  And that sometimes we force untruths on ourselves in order to keep our status quo and feel safe.  

So I challenge you to take that leap of faith in yourself.  Listen to that voice that encourages curiosity and wonder.  Travel down that exciting road that you've never taken before. 

You just might see the world in a whole new light!
