Update: For those who read Quintessential Voyage regularly, you will notice this is not set as the usual "Wednesday Word." In fact, it's been changed to the "Wednesday Wander." Under this new category those dual-definitions of common words will still make an appearance, however, the topics will be more fluid in regards to defining our journey through life, not just the words we use during it.
Your Journey & Evaluating It
As we go through life, typically there is some sort of definition of success you have in mind for everything you do. Through that success, you then have to evaluate what you've earned. Success and progress, both, don't come without taking risks. Most people in our society have a concern or a reluctance to take that leap of faith.
You've seen this leap of faith, or the risky decision, immortalized in so many movies, television shows, and books throughout your life. Often portrayed as asking the popular girl out, going onto a new job, investing into something, and a million other possibilities. It's all about how you go about it. The leap of faith is not really up for decision for those you seek for counsel, nor is it their place to point out hazards or risks of such a decision.
Possibly the riskiest thing about this journey, there is no map. The only guidance is a compass which measures the direction using three factors, your heart, your soul, and your mind. These three thins should help you along the way. Continuously on this path-forging quest, you must be willing to pause briefly and look back on where you came from and also be able to look far ahead of you to anticipate what may cross your path or stand in your way.
Unforeseen challenges and opportunities are a danger of life. Of course, depending on how you view these things, the word used to describe them changes, it's on you to shift the perception because it is you who will tell your own story. Choose wisely and look to make your journey a model for others and a lesson for some.
