Crossroads
In reflecting on our lives and all we have gone through to get to wherever we find ourselves, we must acknowledge the fact that it's not by our might but rather by what God has predestined for us.
We often get to vital stages in our lives while growing up, when we are pressed to make certain decisions or we are yet struggling to define our values. At this point, it becomes necessary that a line be drawn between what we stand for and what we do not as we can't be indecisive in life.
Nothing prepares us for life questions because life has a way of throwing things at us and leaving us to find out the answers for them. The inability to produce answers to these questions brings us into conflicts with life and makes us place unnecessary values on things that are not worth those values. At this point to find answers that are not there, a lot of people get desperate for solutions.
It is inevitable to get to a crossroads but it is imperative to get there and not get stuck. We all need direction, every individual needs a map to work with in order not to get stuck or to get to a very vital stage and make a wrong turn in life. This is why it is important to set a good blueprint for your life and ask yourself the right questions.
Inner wealth answers any question in life and it takes a lot of commitment, sacrifice, and protection to keep it inside and a willingness not to compromise all you keep inside. It is a way of saving your soul from a lot of troubles. Whichever way you find yourself, even when you get the wrong answers to life questions, you will always have to come back to answer them no matter how long it takes you. That's why some people will have to cross the same bridge many times in life while some who are better prepared will pass through it once.
Most times, you don't need to prepare for examinations of life by your own experiences alone, you also have to be observant and learn from other people's mistakes so that you do not take the same turn they took and derailed.
Finally, no matter how many times you have been hurt by taking the wrong decision, do not give up. Your character is being formed and tested and you are the better for it. Do not ignore the best thing in life which you feel in your heart such as love, peace, kindness, and generosity because when we least expect it, they help us in answering certain life questions.
