Crossroads

Sometimes being at a crossroads is very obvious; and sometimes its obscure.  So when you reach it, how do you know for sure the importance it will have on your life?  

We all reach different crossroads throughout our days, our weeks, our lives.  Each one of them leads a different path; sometimes with changes we can't undo; hopefully always for the better, but that wouldn't be real life.  Some crossroads are painful decisions, and the results aren't always a good thing.  Or maybe its that it turns out its not what we wanted for our life.  

So what happens when you reach one of those crossroads?  If you're lucky, you have options.  You can research, or take your time deciding.  But some crossroads aren't that way, with a "now or never" decision to be made.  

So do you? or don't you?

Some equate crossroads with a chance to do something different, or to make a difference in a life.  They think "take a chance, make something happen".  And others take so long thinking about it, they miss the chance. 

Yes. I'm at my own crossroads right now.  And the ponder is this:  do I take a chance, and make something happen?  If I do, and it doesn't, it changes things the outcome of things.  But if I do, and it does, it changes the outcome of things.  Wow.  So changes either way.  But doing nothing, and not taking a chance means things stay the same, status quo for who knows how much longer.  

Would you be the one to choose taking a chance?

but if you'll not choose, 

I'll move on without you”
