Life is like a journey. There are long and short journeys; smooth and rocky roads; crooked and straight paths along the way. Some roads lead to a life of single blessedness, marriage, and religious vocation. There are also roads that lead to fame and fortune, victory and jubilation, success. Other roads may only lead to isolation, sadness and poverty,defeat and disappointment but the choices, decisions and responsibility are yours alone.
As with any journey, there are blind corners, unexpected detours, and crossroads in life. At the crossroads with four roads to choose from and with limited knowledge about where they lead to, which one will you take? How can you be sure to choose the right one along the way? Why should you choose to take any road when you could just stay where you are: at the crossroads?
The choices, decisions and responsibility are yours; there are no guarantees, it is your life.
You can never know where a road will lead you until you take it. There are no guarantees, the choices, decisions and responsibility are yours alone. This is one of the most important things you need to understand about life. The only thing you have power over is the decisions that you will make, and how you act and react to different situations. There are no guarantees that your decisions will always be right, but you must accept responsibility for them.
Wrong decisions are always known with hindsight.
