Standing at the Crossroads
There comes a moment in every person's life when they have to take a step back from their situation and ask themselves if it's worth it to continue on the current path. Is it worth the effort that is required? Is it worth the sacrifices? Am I happy with this situation and, if not, does it have the potential to EVENTUALLY make me happy? Will it get better or worse, or is this all there ever will be to it? Is it my attitude that needs adjusting or the situation?
Why is the sad Cebu sad?
The situation is different in every person's life: could be a job, a relationship, a living situation, a city, a church. It could be something small and easy to fix, or something overwhelming that takes more drastic measures to correct. And in the end, we have no guarantees that the decision we make is going to be the right one. We can only weigh the choices and consequences, make the best decision possible and hope it's the right one after all.
And so we stand at the crossroads and consider our choices: do I quit my job or stick with it? Do we stay together or break up? Do I pack up my home, my family, and my life and move to a new city with new opportunities or do I plug away at the existance I've established here?
Sometimes the choice is obvious and we run toward the chosen path without hesitation. But most of the time we stand at the crossroads for far too long and look down each path, hoping to discover what will lie ahead on either road. If we're lucky, we have friends standing by our side who can see the pathways a little more clearly than we can, who will help us in our decision-making. Most of the time, however, we disregard their helpful information.
And eventually, we have to make our decision. After hours, days, perhaps months of pondering, wondering, and wavering, we have to choose a road.
And we take that first step with trepidation, hoping that we are making the right choice and knowing that there will be no turning back now.....
