Bend in the road

"The bend in the road is not the end of the road unless you refuse to take the turn."

How true that is…  It’s another thing that I should remind myself every single day.  Sometimes when we don’t get our way, or things don’t go exactly to plan, calling it quits seems like the easier thing to do.  And maybe it is, though maybe more cowardly as well. 

Life is an adventure.  There’s not always a clear-cut path that leads you straight to where you want to go.  I’ve found that my relationships are characterized by various twists and turns, and sometimes, it takes a lot of bravery on my part to stay the course.  When it comes to those who matter the most to me, I find myself wanting to take the turn, refusing to surrender to what might seem like an impossible situation.  I would rather be susceptible to failure than to not try at all.  That’s part of living and it’s part of a winning mentality.  While determination may not always equate to success, it does consist of an undying spirit that certainly makes things that seem impossible, possible.  That’s a chance worth fighting for, and one that I am willing to take.
