LIFE AS A LIFE
The only way to know for sure if a path is right for you is to take and
follow the path all the way to the end. Unfortunately life can only allow so
many misdirection plays and crossing of paths. There are many paths to choose
from and every decision everyday of one’s life can lead further down a path or
force you to back up. Many people believe in one path and stick with it while
others try to follow every path they get a hint of. Only one person can make
this decision of a single or multiple path life and that person is you. There
are many paths, but in specific four distinct groups. Every event in life can
be placed on one of these four paths.
The first major path in life is most closely related to the American Dream. This path takes one through a normal life. As the old American dream cliché goes one grows up in a family with two stable parents and one other sibling. They go through their school years doing every activity from the second grade play to the senior prom. They eventually go through a four-year college and end up marrying a woman who has had a similar existence. Both work for a job they particularly like and wind up having two children, one boy, one girl and living in suburban America. They have a three-bedroom house, two cares and a wonderful bunch of neighbors. Their children will eventually follow in the same path. This path is the middle of the road path and either has a step up or a step down.
A step down from the American dream path would be the underachiever path. This starts with a person growing up in a somewhat dysfunctional family and winds up hating their early life. This path leads to a bad school experience and a state of anti-social behavior where the person misses every activity from the second grade play to the senior prom. This person will decide not to struggle through college and joins the work force out of high school. This person has no real life and completely hates their job. This person suffers though life in many different areas, which include socially, financially, and emotionally. They will wind up not having a family and will finish their life alone and sad. Thankfully there is always a step up from that crappy old American dream cliché.
The step up from the cliché is the overachiever route through life. This is a person who grows up in a financially, emotionally, and socially rich environment. They are taught from a young age to strive for success. They go through school and are the center of every event, from playing the lead in the second grade play to being the king or queen of the senior prom. These people rocket through college with ease and earn graduate degrees becoming doctors, lawyers or chairman of major corporations. These people are the smartest, wealthiest and most admired people on earth. They are the cut above the rest and never look to the common people. Unfortunately none of these may sound like a very suitable path for some people, hence the fourth path of life.
The final path is that of all three mixed up into one. There is no distinct way to get through life, except with a combination of good and bad. These are the average, everyday people who live life to the fullest and have both good and bad days. These people’s life is filled with both risk and reward. These are the people that cross a piece of every path and in the end find that variety is indeed the spice of life. This is by far the most traveled path and the easiest to follow.
Any of these four paths can take a person though life, but the real question is can one be destine to a certain path and successfully change their fate? A path is a way to guide a person though their life and takes them to success or failure. Weather one chooses their path or is destine to it, any decision made in life can have a person jump onto another path. Everyone can identify himself or herself or a person they know as being on a path through life, the tough part is admitting the truth about which path that is.
