Use it more. For hundreds of years, there were ways to build buildings but then Frank Gehry comes along and redefines architecture and what we think of it. The same thing must happen with educations and lives: redefine. There is no way to build a life. Yes, there are prescribed paths of college, grad school specialization, job, wife, kids. This is one way to live a life and it is honorable but there are millions of ways to get to where you want to end up. Find them and create more.
In conversation, we always condone "the road less traveled" and say how brave we would act if we encountered a difficult decision full of adversity. And, of course, when talking hypothetically, there is nothing at risk, therefore we always talk of ourselves in our ideal state of how we wish we were: brave, confident, loving. But when it is time for action do we actually pick the safe route that has the footprints, guideposts, and water breaks along the way, despite all our previous thoughts and beliefs? Why? What's stopping us?
Redefine what a road is.
Go.
