Lock Down Day 9

"Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—

I took the one less traveled by,

And that has made all the difference." - Robert Frost

And that indeed has made all the difference. I am fortunate to have a father who has stood by me from a young age. Like every dad, he too always felt he knew what is best for me and tried hard for me to attain those goals. But I have always had a dream of my own (or dreams!), and even though it didn't match his dreams, my dad always said - "you're the one responsible for your life, we can do nothing but support you with it. You're the one who has to live it in the end". These sentences always gave me the courage to make brave decisions and travel through many untrodden paths with my head held high but humbled at the same time for the chances I've been given. And with God's blessings and my parents love and support I continue to do so...I have taken the path less traveled by, and I can see it making all the difference...praise the Lord!

Have you taken chances with your life? Did you have to take on the less trodden paths as well? Tell me about it! No better time than this to share it with someone who'd love to listen to the things you learnt in the process of travelling yourself and exploring new facets of your life.

Till then take care everyone! Stay happy, healthy and safe!
