The paths we take

I don't really like using the term path for ones religion, but I wish to talk about something a little bit different that may or may not include our spiritual path. I'm talking about the roads we take in life. As we head down one road, other roads become inaccessible or too far off to seriously reconsider.

Often we mourn this loss, wondering what would happen if we had taken a different road. Such a thing is common, but not useful. We must understand that others probably envy the paths we took as well, although this is not always the case. The road we take in life is simply our road. It is what it is and as we get older we may regret the paths not taken, but hopefully we made the right decisions or at least the interesting incorrect decisions for us to get where we are.
