Walking in the past, following a trail already made is a chance that we all sooner or later face. Life has many roads to travel, which are you to take? The one that leads to happiness, or the one that repeats your mistake? I have followed some paths more than once I'm afraid and learned from that to change my ways. There is always two choices, two roads in every decision of yours. If you find the right one, you will not question any more where your happiness lies or which for you is the right door. And when you somehow get off track, don't fall to the floor. Do as I did, remember where you were before and faith will guide you to your promised shore. I can see people like you who are somehow mislead, day to day, living in the tears they have shed. They pray for love and comfort to be sent to them when all along it's themselves they need to look at instead. Now my tears are dried and my eyes aren't red, I can look at myself to find my very own best friend. So I promise you the truth about finding your path to happiness. Do as I did, put your soul at rest. It is a struggle of mistakes to learn and confess, which will take you to the land of forgiveness. There is nothing better than living life to your best, being able to tell the roads apart so you can make that step. We all have choices to continue in our path, whether old or new and when it comes, your answer will be right in front of you. I have walked these trails up and down more than once too, only to understand why it was the dead ends I'd choose. Will you mislead yourself to the wrong choices life offers you? or will you do as I did, learn to help yourself through? Copyright January 15, 1999 by Bobbie J. Brown
Reason for writing:
I was just thinking about how so many people seem to make mistakes in life that could have been prevented. Some pull themselves down into depression and wonder why everything happens to them. I used to be that way and now I look at things differently. It's all about choices and which roads you want to take. You can change your attitude only if you really want -- I am proof.
