You see, I am at crossroads again and it's time to choose. There are a zillion options threatening to overwhelm me to the extent I am tempted to simply take the easy way out and just go back to what I've done all these years. "FREEZE right there missy", screams a part of me, a part which has been soft and polite, waiting quietly in the wings for her turn to take the stage by storm.
She scares me a little. She demands 100% commitment to whatever road I end up choosing. She expects a very high degree of self motivation to see it through, however hard it may be.
As I stand teetering on the brink, I know that at some point, I will have to set my fears to one side and take that step into the unknown. So what's holding me back? Maybe I am overthinking the situation - seems to be a trait that comes with age. Maybe it's time to shift into reverse gear and pick up some pointers from my past - the wisdom of youth.
