THE CROSSROAD.
THE ROAD NOT TAKEN
by: Robert Frost
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;
Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim
Because it was grassy and wanted wear,
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,
And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I marked the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way
I doubted if I should ever come back.
I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I,
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.
The first month of the year is over. I've been too busy and had no time to update this blog. This post is special. I know this won't make sense to most people, but I believe with all my heart that I have made the right decision and that God is guiding me all the way through,
Since the last few months, I have always written in this blog that there was a drastic change in my outlook in life. I look at trials as opportunities, I know that trials are just God's way of shaking us out of our comfort zone, for us to step up and become a better person. It is that positive attitude that kept me going, asking the right questions led me to the right answers. I've been asking God before to show me my WAKE UP CALL, and He did. That is why I have a strong faith in what I am doing right now.
My leadership attitude ever since was more on influencing and inspiring my subordinates. Contrary to the traditional corporate setting, I do not feel comfortable giving orders and reprimanding. I guess it was something that I had to learn as my position requires such attitude; however, I felt that there was something wrong. It was something that I don't enjoy doing, it was not me.
I found a place where influencing and inspiring people are the main purpose of leadership. A place where I felt that my free spirit is being uplifted. A place where I do not have to follow orders and to give orders. A place where I know that the purpose is not just the money, but the thirst for freedom and the genuine purpose of touching the lives of other people
I had to take the road less traveled. I had to go to a different direction because I no longer want to be a part of the herd. I want to draw my life the way I have always wanted to. I want tings to change, and so I have to do something different. I need to have the courage to face my fears in order to see an all new world. Freedom takes courage. One life to live, and I don't want to sink into my comfort zone all my life. I want to take the journey, the adventure of a lifetime!
