The Road Not Taken

Today at a church interview my Elders Quorum President asked how satisfied I was with my life. I put betwen 5 to 7. I've never had 10 in my life, rarely 9 or even 8, so really I'm just in my normal state. But this question triggered something I've been thinking lately: the road not taken.

Life is like a labyrinth which birth is its entrance, and death is its exit birth. The nice thing about the life labyrinth is we can find the exit no matter which road we take. In addition, most people in this labyrinth don't want to reach the exit too soon. So indeed the more we spin in it the better it gets.
It's how I take the road not which road I take makes the difference. Lemuel took the same road from Jerusalm to the promised land as Nephi but had a complete life as the prophet. I can be doing the very same thing but have very different reasons. I can even be doing the very same thing for very same reason but have very different attitudes. These are the things really matter when I reach the exit of my life labyrinth.

There's nothing wrong to think about the road not taken, especially when I know in the parallel universes I have taken all the roads. But at the end of the day how I'm going to take the next step is what really matters.
