High Stakes

Some of us choose a harder route. We want to achieve things faster this way than it would take on the usual long and less steep road. This means that we are put into a series of tests that are progressive in nature. They come in different forms and shapes. They drive us to our limits and press us hard. We are offered the easy way out, which means failure, but the real solutions are usually nowhere to be found and beyond our personal comprehension. Often, all the circumstances are against us. This is the harder way.

The rewards are high as well. Our life is very intense and rich in experiences. Situations may even seem strange to bystanders. Lucky coincidences and amazing turnarounds occur. We are not that surprised if we have the inner knowledge of the real issues. Anything is possible and at the end, things turn out the good way—if we only last to the end. The choice is ours and we can opt out. But there are a few of us who have made it all the way—they are the hope for the rest of us. They are very few in numbers, compared to the total population and even to the number of people reaching for higher grounds. But everybody is free to join—the choice is ours.
