Good Morning,

Each of us is an individual, a living and breathing being.

We had no control over who our parents were, where we lived, how we lived, the school we attended, the kids in our neighborhood the Church we attended, or much of anything during our formative years.

As we grew up, we, bit by bit, were able, if we chose, to influence our outcomes and chose our path in life. We could follow the pack or venture out on our own in many ways.

As an adult, we are able to choose the path in life we wish to follow. We can choose to stay where we are and do what we have always done. We can just as easily choose to follow our heart, follow our dreams and do something different.

What path are you on? Is it the path you would really like to take? If not, at the fork in the road, take a new path, a path of your own choosing and not one chosen by others for you. Yes, there are risks but there are also rewards.

Your question “Do the rewards outnumber the risks?” Just because you have never done it before doesn’t mean you can’t. It is your life and your life alone. Live it your way. You only have one of them.

Remember, “Today is the first day of the rest of your life.” (Charles Dederich)   How you live it and what you do with it is up to you.
