And for the past several years, all you did in your carnival of life is ride the Merry Go Round. A path of least resistance where you know what to expect on this ride. But you never really go anywhere except up and down, round and round. It's a safe ride. Where you start is where you end.
But imagine one day that you decide that you really want to experience life. So you venture off to the Fun House.
The Fun House can be scary since you never really know what to expect. Depending upon how involved you get depends upon the depth of the experience. You can spend time playing, or you can race right through it. Sometimes you can't see the way to go because of these reflections distort the true path. Often you see mirrors reflecting a distorted imagine back to you, and sometimes you see your real reflection. But as you walk through the fun house, through its twists and turns, you never know what surprises await you. It can be scary or it can be fun. It really depends upon you and your frame of mind.
But what you do know is that where you start isn't where you end. There is an adventure along this path. And if you're afraid, you'll probably hate it. But if you're ready for adventure, you'll probably enjoy it.
So the next time you are confronted with a choice in direction in your life, will you head for the Merry Go Round and repeat the same course of action, or it be the Fun House, where you don't know what lies before you except an adventure of your making? ~Mary Powers
