Even when we know exactly where we are, we can be lost. There comes a time in every life when roads we have always walked come to an end, forcing us to change direction and embark upon an unknown route that takes us through places we did not intend to go.
The new way can feel unsafe; have no reassuring landmarks and take much longer, no-one waves from the side of the road; no fellow travellers encourage you to keep going and the unfamiliar scenery makes you feel lost.
Buber wrote “All journeys have a secret destination of which the traveller is unaware”
Where you think you are going, may not be where you end up, but if you look beyond the road and discover how fulfilling travelling can be,you may find happiness in just moving forward. Your destination may not be a place but a realization of what you can achieve if you take the road less travelled and turn it into a journey of discovery.
