Isn’t it a common thought that comes to many of us at different stages of life?
By definition, a crossroad is a place where two or more roads cross each other. Our answers are in the definition itself!
It simply means that we have choices! The confusion is usually with the direction. Another aspect, while many are on a certain path, they get questions if they are on the right path. In either case it’s about choices we have.
Choices don’t always fall on our lap, we have to identify them. And, It’s the critical step! Choices could be broadly classified in two categories based on; past (historical) and future (trend). The former is pessimistic while the later is optimistic by its nature. But, both results is identifying choices. And, one must identify both! Once these are identified, identify your aspirations.
If your aspirations are high, look at the optimistic choices.
The next critical step is to chose. It’s the decision time! Seek inputs from experts, evaluate independently, pick one and put a plan in place.
Remember there are no rights and wrongs here, tell yourself this was a consciously taken decision given your situation at that moment! And, If something doesn’t go right in the future, consider yourself at crossroad again and redo the exercise again!
Whether you desire an adventurous life journey or not, prepare yourself for crossroads!
