About The Trails You'll Never See
At any point in time the path you are on has many forks. There is nothing preventing you from leaving the main path. It might feel like it. An invisible barrier. A closed gate. A path that is too “technical” – not one you feel comfortable walking on.
But the only thing prevent you from walking on it is yourself.
If you never venture off those paths your life will be pretty linear. Never wondered where this one random trailhead goes to? You can always turn around. Or find you way back to the main path, and then venturing into another direction.
Life is a lot of little experiments, a lot of random things happening, a bit of luck, a few setbacks, and a lot of change.
But the different paths are always there. And we can decide to leave the main path at any point. The new path might not be a shortcut. But it might lead to a place no other path would have led.
I love taking random paths. What about you?
All of life revolves around Micro & Macro Pivots in life. We can't get stuck on our goals that we intended to achieve. A lot of the times we need to adapt and maneuver because time waits for no one. it is like a ticking bomb. So better make the best use of it.
I am also in this cycle brother of just getting stuck to a path or whatever path I chose but it is also some sort of because of the environment I live in. I am not blaming the environment rather if one needs to unlearn & rewire things on cognitive level, one needs to be pretty much aware of the cues behind those patterns and then only we would be able to break them. I am learning to do it and also on the cross roads of making some hefty decisions that don't align with my family. Also I am professionally in the shambles ate the age of 28.5 but the only way things can get better is my taking ownership of all the things happening in my life and being okay with micro & macro pivots in life.
I have personally seen & experienced that these pivots be it small or big take a lot of time not before the change but mostly after as we weren't expecting this and then we stuck on the loop of what we wanted and not accept the reality as it is. It eats up a lot of time, energy & effort which prevents us from making changes & do better with the things happening in the present.
