Day 199 "Start To Finish To Start"

If you walk one foot in front of the other for a long enough time, you will no doubt come to the end of that road at some point.
There is no guarantee that the road will fork nicely into separate paths of some great potential. There are no guarantees that you won't find yourself looking down over a cliff in fear of the next step, and completely paralyzed by the fear of the unknown; but it is guaranteed that you will have to take another step, because the universe wills it to be, and so do you.

You may stand at the end of your road where you stop and take a moment to appreciate the journey that led up to this pinnacle moment, and you may stand a moment longer as you contemplate this next critical, and imminent, decision that you know you must make.

You may have to climb down the face of the cliff for a long time, grasping at any hand hold you can find, all the while trying not to look down, and trying not to give in to any fear you might have at all.

You may have to free fall to your next path, with nothing but blind faith in yourself, and with the hope that you will figure out the proper way to land without destroying yourself in the process; you might have to brace for the bottom.

If you walk with one determined foot in front of another for long enough, and with an open mind, you will come to see that no matter how you navigate the end of one path, it will eventually turn into another, and that one thing, above all else, will never change; you will always have to take one more step ahead.

The universe demands it, you demand it.
