Reflection and Self-Discovery

A lost road will remember your footsteps because someday you may want to return, tracing the way.

We may meet so many people along this long road,But it is of no use,Until we finally meet ourselves.

I have been wasting my whole life guiding other people home , to the extent that I’ve lost my own path , and I’ve taken many wrong roads to places that I’ll never belong to …

Nobody will walk the entire journey with you. Their roads do diverge, so does yours.

Whoever wishes may accompany me: the road is long, it's painful but it's lived.

Our story has been told,our song has been sung.You're a road I’ve already traveled,and from it, I have moved on."Already Traveled

I have traveled many roads in my life.Some were imbued with pain and I needed to avert my gaze.Others were so beautiful that I would have remained there forever.But always, at some point in these routes, I reached a place where I encountered myself.

If I don't journey forward along these tracks then you will never be born. Then who will there be to tell my story?

Can you think of anything more permanently elating than to know that you are on the right road at last?

How many crossroads are you allowed to have in life? I seem to have a lot of crossroads. I think maybe I crossed back across the same road too often.

Who does not see that I have taken a road along which I shall go, without stopping and without effort, as long as there is ink and paper in the world? I cannot keep a record of my life by my actions; fortune places them too low. I keep it by my thoughts.

Where roads are made I lose my way.In the wide water, in the blue sky there is no line of a track.The pathway is hidden by the birds' wings, by the star-fires, by the flowers of the wayfaring seasons.And I ask my heart if its blood carries the wisdom of the unseen way.

Overcoming Obstacles

The difficult road I took alone—I kept walking, and most importantly, I kept turning the pages, and it landed me here.

My life has been full of curves. For once, I want to walk in a straight line; that way, at least I know what is ahead of me. The curves have played with my mind to the point I believe there is no such thing as a two-way street. My life has always consisted of a one-way street. I call it the road less traveled.

If a road ends, that creates a great opportunity to develop new abilities to continue! Welcome every challenge in your life!

May be the road you travel doesn’t give you the beautiful fate you have always dreamed off! Stop and change the road, no matter how difficult it may be!

When I am passing through hell, I have to remind myself of the last time I happened to be on that road. How quickly it was over, without any ingenuity on my part. After all, hell is a one-way street. The only direction forward is the way out.

Start your journey where the road ends! Glory lies beyond the ends!

Life takes up one long, winding road to fulfill its seemingly endless journey, and when we find ourselves stumble upon forks in the road, we choose wisely.

When you think that the road has ended, you must know that it is your ability to go beyond has ended, not the road!

A dead end is only the end of your road if you fail to turn around. Too many people needlessly waste time and energy trying to find a way across a dead end street. Stop, turn around, and ask God for directions to get to where you were going in the first place. Recalculate!

The road of doubt leads to the dead-end of despair. Time to change directions!" HS/el

In this journey, the road does not care if you are weary, the road does not really care if you are hurt, the road only cares that you bring your best every time you step on it but if you can actually survive this road then you know that something special awaits you and for a moment in time you can be at the top of the world.' Thorondor - Storm Quest the dark realm

Truth...Overcome the valley of your despair and it will lead you onto some of the greatest roads of your life!

I know now that it is going to be a tough and long road ahead of me

The Path Less Traveled

Focus in the present to help the future you seek! Taking your roads slowly, will get You way more further, yet this is not a race, just another journey.

My life. My lane. My pace. My rules.

The easy road would have been to stay on the same path, the one that led only to death and decay. Instead, I took the road less travelled; I journeyed towards new life; towards transformation.

The road less traveled continues to beckon me onward, towards a journey of transformation and engagement.

I shall be telling this with a sighSomewhere ages and ages hence:Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—I took the one less traveled by,And that has made all the difference.

I'm going to go where my heart takes me, even if it's a messy road.

I shall be telling this with a sighSomewhere ages and ages hence;Two roads diverged in a wood, and I-I took the one less traveled by.And that has made all the difference." - Robert Frost

No straight lines make up my life; And all my roads have bends; There's no clear-cut beginnings; And so far no dead-ends.

I've got a hard road to travel and a rough, rough way to go. Said, it's a hard road to travel and a rough, rough way to go. But I can't turn back, my heart is fixed, my mind's made up, I'll never stop, my faith will see me through.

I make the road. I draw the map. Nothing just happens to me...I'm the one happening.

If you know anything about me, you know that my life's taken a few unexpected curves and crashes along the way. But hey, at least I can say I took the scenic route!

Wanderer, there is no road, the road is made by walking. The poem tells me it’s no big deal that I’m not like Snow. I can be another thing; I’m meant to be another thing.

You think you want the blue skies, the open road, but really you want the tunnel, you want to know how the story ends.

Change and Transformation

my dear life separating you through the journey i actually bend all those easy paths for me was waiting .looking keel of end edge of today's canvas ,life visits stranger to me . i myself kept out me from my own journey

I looked up the road I was going and back the way I came and since I wasn't satisfied decided to step off the road and cut me a new path. -Ms. Annie Johnson as told by Maya Angelou (pg. 69 Chicken Soup for the Soul Living your Dream)

The Universe wants to move you onto another road in life - onto another journey and you dare defy the signs? Signs only get bigger and louder.

Very soon you will find yourself at the end of a dirt road, only inches from a threshold . . . a threshold into another world—a glorious world, one of infinite possibility. You’ll be standing there contemplating your next move when a gust of wind whispers, “Have faith.” When you hear those magic words, it’ll be time for you to cross the threshold and begin your journey . . .

Karma Road: I¹m like everyone else, stumbling around in the dark, trying to find the right path, or at least a little more light.

A journey - whether it's to the corner grocery or through life - is supposed to have a beginning, middle, and end, right? Well, the road is not like that at all. It's the very illogic and the juxtaposed differences of the road - combined with our search for meaning - that make travel so addictive.

Odd, how life makes twists and turns. I never would have guessed that I’d end up where I am now, but I wouldn’t trade it for the world. I wouldn’t trade this path I’m on for the whole solar system, for that matter. If I’ve learned anything these last several months, it’s that sometimes the most scenic roads in life are the detours you didn’t mean to take.

Sometimes we feel only one thing about a road: We must travel on that road at all costs! We know deep in our heart that that path is our path of dreams!

Here is a good philosophy of life: Enjoy the road with flowers; enjoy the road with stones!

Trust the curves in life. God will lead you through, the ride is Amazing. ~Janiece Rendon Transition Strategist

Your time has come to pick the road you walk in this tale.

There are a thousand paths into the future, forks after forks in the road ahead. Who knows, if one road closes, maybe another opens in another universe . . . and your soul, your consciousness, leaps over to continue that journey ever forward, always finding the right path.

I have my own unique road that has had many exciting ups and heart-breaking downs, but one thing I know is that my journey is not over and the best is yet to come.

Endings and Beginnings

Everyone knows WebMD is a Choose Your Own Adventure book in which all roads lead to death.

To find what you seek in the road of life, the best proverb of all is that which says:"Leave no stone unturned.

This is just a short path we walkin'. The long road, the good road, lies ahead. And when we get there, you can count on one thing. Folks like Miss Emily that has spent this life lookin' down is sure 'nough gonna spend all eternity lookin' up.

The road you travel will remain as your destiny till you change the road!

The road you know limits your life; the only thing that will give you the opportunity to expand your life is the road you don't know!

You found an infinite road? You have an infinite life? What happens then? Then, you will keep on travelling because now the road does not end, now there is no cul-de-sac, now you are free, now you have an unimpeded life!

In life, never lose hope that you are nearing a dead end, Only when you reach the end of the road you realize a road to its left and to its right.

All the roads of life end in death.

I shall be telling this with a sigh Somewhere ages and ages hence: Two roads diverged in a wood, and I— I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference.

It's either my way or the highway. If you don't agree, one of us will have to leave, and I'll tell you what, it isn't going to be me.

Every road i traveled led back to you

That is the road we all have to take - over the Bridge of Sight into eternity.

Alas! the road to Anywhere is pitfalled with disaster; There's hunger, want, and weariness, yet O we loved it so! As on we tramped exultantly, and no man was our master, And no man guessed what dreams were ours, as, swinging heel and toe, We tramped the road to Anywhere, the magic road to Anywhere, The tragic road to Anywhere, such dear, dim years ago.

Challenging Journeys

Life is sometimes like a treacherous mountain road with deep ruts, dangerous curves, and deadly ravines. If you have ever traveled in remote areas of the world, there is no more relief than to get off that rough, primitive road and onto a smooth, paved, and level highway.

Look down the road I’m traveling and you will see my goal; it’s there on the path. Probably closer than it appears. Life tends to roll that way.

The creative road is a tough one to follow. There are many bumps and detours we hit before arriving at the end of our journey

Life is a road... a wild and wearying road... and I've reached the end. Death is like an old friend, waiting at the end, to wrap me in his arms.

If life were a highway, I would still look for the footpath, for walking that, I would learn about us, enjoying the extra time to do so.

And now, the end is near,And so I face the final curtain.My friend, I'll say it clear,I'll state my case, of which I'm certain.I've lived a life that's full.I've traveled each and every highway;And more, much more than this,I did it my way.

I was looking down the road of "life gone by" and I realized this road of life is not as long as it looks. Travel with caution and maximize every mile. It can be a beautiful journey.

When at CROSSROADS..Cross the Road..this way or that!

The road to death is a lonely highway, and longer than it apears, even when it leads straight down from the scaffold, by way of a rope; and it's a dark road, with never any moon shining on it, to light your way.

I've lived a life that's full, I traveled each and ev'ry highway, And more, much more than this, I did it my way.

There is your car and the open road, the fabled lure of random adventure. You stand at the verge, and you could become anything.

Life on the road is very different from a normal, day to day life, and sometimes that surrealistic existence can have an effect on you, you tend to forget that's not really how things are supposed to be. But there comes a point where you have to pace yourself and find a place in your mind where you can be real.

Unexpected Twists and Turns

Route 66 is a symbol for relishing life through-and-through via the senses; the Interstate represents missing out on life. You go from point A (birth) to point B (death) utterly oblivious to what’s happening in between.

I'm on my way...don't know where to, but my road is build with metaphors and nonsense

Odd, how life makes twists and turns. I never would have guessed that I’d end up where I am now, but I wouldn’t trade it for the world. I wouldn’t trade this path I’m on for the whole solar system, for that matter. If I’ve learned anything these last several months, it’s that sometimes the most scenic roads in life are the detours you didn’t mean to take.

I’ve traveled this road for many decades and I still don’t know how to go. I am a wanderer, traversing mountains of time. There is no fault, only fault lines that tremor and quake, barring me, no warning. Aftershocks. -Broken Places

Life has no smooth road for any of us, we just have to keep looking upward

Sometimes you get there in spite of the route Losing track of your life and what it's about The road seems to know when to straighten right out... I could wonder if all of it led me to you I could show you the arrows and circles I drew I didn't have a map, it's the best I could do On the fly and on the run

If you know anything about me, you know that my life's taken a few unexpected curves and crashes along the way. But hey, at least I can say I took the scenic route!

Oh, my ways are strange ways and new ways and old ways, And deep ways and steep ways and high ways and low, I'm at home and at ease on a track that I know not, And restless and lost on a road that I know.

The road to life is rocky, and you may stumble too. So while you point your fingers, someone else is judging you.

The road to anywhere is the road to nowhere, and the road to nowhere leads to dreams sacrificed, opportunities squandered, and a life unfulfilled. In our journey we will encounter forks and turnings in the road.

Look down - look down that lonesome road Before you travel on

This highway leads to the shadowy tip of reality: you're on a through route to the land of the different, the bizarre, the unexplainable...Go as far as you like on this road. Its limits are only those of mind itself. Ladies and Gentlemen, you're entering the wondrous dimension of imagination. . . Next stop The Twilight Zone.

Guidance and Signs

The Universe wants to move you onto another road in life - onto another journey and you dare defy the signs? Signs only get bigger and louder.

The most beautiful part of an adventurous road is that your mind is not in the past or in the future, but it is exactly in this moment!

Although it's a long time on the road, it is on the road and coming. I tell thee it never retreats, and never stops.

My life is the road, man. I need to keep moving.

The continual cracking of your feet on the road makes a certain quantity of road come up into you. When a man dies they say he returns to clay but too much walking fills you up with clay far sooner (or buries bits of you along the road) and brings your death half-way to meet you. It is not easy to know what is the best way to move yourself from one place to another.

The road to nowhere leads to me.

Existential Reflections

I have been driven many times upon my knees by the overwhelming conviction that I had no where else to go. My own wisdom and that of all about me seemed insufficient for that day.

A good book and a smooth road are similar: you’d always love to pass through them over and over again. ~Nkwachukwu Ogbuagu

The road goes ever on and on, down from the door were it began, now far ahead the road has gone and I must follow if I can...

Traditional (Hawaiian Saying): A road goes down, up and level. In other words. life is like a road.

And now the end is near And so I face the final curtain, My friends, I'll say it clear, I'll state my case of which I'm certain. I've lived a life that's full, I've travelled each and evr'y highway And more, much more than this, I did it my way.

The further along we get on our life journey the more we wonder about those who traveled before us and paved the road.

Thinking: this journey will be the axle of my life.

TRIAD: Three separate highways intersect at a place no reasonable person would ever want to go. Three lives that would have been cut short, if not for hasty interventions by loved ones. Or Fate. Three people, with nothing at all in common except age, proximity, and a wish to die. Three tapestries, tattered at the edges and come unwoven to reveal a single mutual thread.

One road leads to London, / One road runs to Wales, / My road leads me seawards / To the white dipping sails.

Other

Whenever we see an endless road, we are saddened because we do not yet have an eternal life to make that endless journey!

Would you that ever find yourself walking the Road, trudging without purpose, seeking some journey's end, I give you this warning. The Road is a living being. She is an enchantress and She has a long reach.

The road of life is filled with sunshine and clouds, black and white, triumphs and tragedies. As we continue down the road, we decide which things we bring with us, and which we leave in the rear-view mirror.

...Our Way is called a Narrow Wayoften a lonely roada road of trusting uncertainty...I needA safe space—no matter how small—to get off the road till my vision is cleartill I can see through the tearstill hands steady against the fears...I needTo remember that my lifeis hidden in the cleft of the Rockthat to surrender is to stay, to still,to remember love always makes a Way...

One road was simple acceptance of life, the other road offered sweet peace. When I made my decision, my vision became my release.
