Taking the Road No One Has Taken

Life's road is full of hurdles. Getting over them means moving forward; failing to do so means falling behind.

On an untrodden road, there are no boats to cross the sea of life and death, and no lamp to pierce the endless night.

To grow beyond yourself, you must pass through self-awareness, the comfort zone, the fear zone, the learning zone, the growth zone, and the freedom zone.

Those at the bottom live in their emotions, those in the middle live for their worth, and those at the top live with clarity.

Older people can look back on their paths and reflect on how they got there and what set them apart.

Young people can look at the past of their elders and see how they made it through. Don't lose heart or hesitate; keep striving to surpass yourself.

Can the protagonist of this story find clarity? Is there a mystery to solve?

The story is told in the first person, but it is not about me. Any resemblance is coincidental, so don't assume it refers to you.
