the road less travelled...

has anyone never decided to do something that they are not 100 percent on for some reason, but still are compelled to keep going? this is my current situation and as it may be a lil exciting, it sure is scary.

some of you may know already to what i'm referring to, and those who don't, sorry, i'm not getting into all that hassle right now for everyone to read. but i'm faced with decisions and stances that i am unsure of how to handle. i'm trying to think of where to pull more strength from. you think you can handle only so much and then somehow, you find just a little bit more in some dark corner of yourself. i consider myself lucky that i have always been able to find some more strength rather than a panic attack or a mental breakdown of some kind.

i know i have some friends also that are going through their own personal hells, again, i'm not going to be the one to put their business out on the street, but i know they also are wondering why their are going through such hardships and what they mean and how to go forward with the things they know now.

maybe life is set up this way. God puts you through these tests and tribulations to truly make you stronger, wiser and better for the hassles you must go through to get where you ultimately want to be.

i guess i maybe writing this to reassure myself during some very trying times. but then, if anyone has advice on how to know they are making the right decisions, please pass on some knowledge, because i need it badly!!
