Trails in Life

Where does your path lead you?  That is a very good question we should be asking ourselves often.  It is in this simple answer that so much clarity can be found, and in addition many other questions can be answered by asking ourselves what our current direction is.  There are many trails in life.  In the photo is a high mountain trail that was recently taken by me.  It shows a well-traveled trail accented by some beautiful trees.  The question to ask is whether your trail is along this path, or can you choose another direction?  At first, the thought is that you must stay on this trail.  This thought is there because the trail looks so well worn and inviting.  That is lure of trails, they can lead us along a path that many have traveled but may not be the best for us.  There is no harm in looking away from the trail.  It might be the correct way for us to go.  This is but another example of looking outside the box.  Instead of wearing blinders that keep you on a trail, look around you.  There is beauty and grandeur all around.  Reflect deep in your soul and find the direction that moves you.  Live with Elan!
