Choices

the sixth step of a heroes journey is the "road of trials". which basically means when you are faced with many different options of ways to do things and you must chose a way. I find myself having to chose by being faced with two choices, i could either take the easy road out and give up or actually take the challenging but more rewarding road instead? it seems like the choice would be obvious, i mean who wouldn't want to take the road with more rewarding opportunities, but it seems like if you just chose the easy way it would be just as rewarding than working so very hard on something and not even being sure that the result or outcome of it will be what you want it to be. You have to look at the choices you make now and how it will affect you in the long run. I mean i could just give up on being my best and getting all A's and B's and just go with a C average because its easy now, but if you look into the future you'll see that, that choice would be bad because i would probably become an unmotivated person and think that it's ok to not try my hardest.There is a quote i found by Eleanor Roosevelt and i feel really expresses what I'm trying to say. "I am how I am today, by the choices i made yesterday." so i must chose my choices wisely now because it will make up for the person i will be in the future...
