Two roads to grow
Now, one road is like the highway: paved, smooth, with very few curves and fairly easy and enjoyable to travel by car. Now imagine the second road, which also takes you to the same place the highway road takes you, but this second road is very rough, full of holes, with lots of pointy rocks, and to top it all off no cars go through there.
This second road starts parallel to the highway road but at times you see it gets lost in the curves, deviations and bridges. Since no cars can go through this road, you have to walk, yes, and sometimes even bare footed. No so much fun is it? Well, life can be something like this too.
If you feel you’re walking on the dirt road, you’re growing with pain. If you feel you’re walking on the dirt road bare footed, you’re definitely growing with pain. But if you feel that life is simple, you enjoy it, you got the hang of it and are usually happy with the life you’re living, then you’re growing with joy.
Soon you won’t be able to change roads
People traveling on the dirt road are usually not pleasant to be around, things usually take too long to turn out good for them, and they usually feel and project negative emotions such as depression, guilt, anger, resentment, etc. most of the time.
If someone you know is walking on the dirt road, there’s not much you can do for them. You need to be aware of this otherwise you’ll be allowing them to pull you to their painful road. Try to remember this when you see your loved ones on that road.
The only thing I recommend you to do is to inform them of the two roads, and be understanding, kind, and compassionate towards them. Although it’s too late to change roads for some of them, growth is still happening. No pain is ever wasted.
How to grow with joy
- Remove yourself from what causes you pain
- Connect with your Self (inner guidance system)
- Heal from your past hurts
- Start seeing the positive side of everything
- The positive side of things

- The positive side of life
- Control your thinking
- Focus on feeling good
If a soul prefers painful growth, they are still moving forward. Remember this if someone close to you clings to their painful ways.” –Carol Heideman
