Cross-Roads; Dilemma

Cross roads are bound to pop up in our lives once in a while. As you come to a halt at the junction, you’ll be thrown with several options in life. Each of this path brings along its pros and cons and the risks involved. Dilemma. It’s also the essential ingredient in making lives interesting.

As we’re thrown these many options, we have to sit down and do a lot of planning, and tons of weighing. Weighing the pros and cons, the risks involved and the upsides if you can pull it off successfully. You may or may not have come across the term: SWOT Analysis. In the gist of it, it’s an analysis of a situation or a product, the Strengths, the Weaknesses, the Opportunities, and the Threats involved. Thereafter, add in a dash of gut feeling and proceed down the path of belief, a leap of faith. Why gut feeling? It’s something indescribable in each and everyone one of us, a strong belief that comes from within that our decisions are right, a belief strong enough to propel us forward, embracing the uncertainties head-on. Convincing yourself taps into a pool of boundless energy.

Sitting at the cross-road I am right now, 26 years of age, in my prime. Weighing my options, its opportunities and risks involved. Convincing a fool has always been a difficult task. I have every reason to believe this next decision I make will decide the following 3-5 years’ outcome, and ultimately my success in life, the quality of my life, the comfort of my life, and of course the quality level I can provide my family with.

Everyone has been supportive and strong belief in me, it is only myself that I have left to convince. And I thank you for that, for the trust.

Time is not of essence to me right now, however, haste do make waste.

Let me tread upon this path I should come to decide, with my eyes set forward upon the final pot of gold. My head held high, brimming with confidence, busking in your faith and belief in me.

Thank you.
