In the journey of life, we often have to make decisions. Some decisions are easy and we do not have to think twice before we make them. Others are quite difficult and might even take years to make. And yet others are tricky and turn our lives into a sea of confusion.
Decisions in life are similar to the crossroads that we often encounter while traveling to any destination. If you were going somewhere for the first time and came to a junction and was not sure which fork of the road to take, what would you do? Most people ask for directions from people who seem to be familiar with the area.
When a person comes to a decision in life that seems difficult, or confusing to make, it often helps to ask for directions from someone who has been there before. And help is readily available and the choices are varied; perhaps from an older person, or literature written by a knowledgeable person, or even praying to God.
Asking for directions surely beats standing at a junction pretending that everything is OK and yet someone is lost. Or splitting in two like the greedy hyena.
