The Up Choice at the Crossroads

When you reach a life crossroads, choices may seem limited to left, right, or straight. The Up Choice invites awareness beyond logic and fear — opening a path to expanded possibility and truth.

In: Pathway to Becoming, Field Notes

Standing at Life’s Crossroads

At a crossroads, choice seems apparent: left, right, straight.
Sometimes life is that clear-cut.
At the crossroads, feel into your truth, choose, and allow your life to move on.

However, there are moments when, no matter the logic of the situation or the feeling in your gut, nothing helps you discern your truthful choice.

The more you look, the more pressure builds to make the choice — the right choice, the perfect choice to settle all trouble and clear all roads.

Maybe you stand at the crossroads long enough to begin to think something’s wrong with you because you can’t decide.

Or maybe you force a choice just to move forward — yet something still doesn’t feel right.


A Fourth Possibility

Go back and know this:
At the crossroads, choice isn’t just left, right, or straight.
There is a fourth possibility —
The Up Choice.

Yes, the Up Choice.
The unexpected choice.
The choice beyond logical limitation.
The choice that takes you into expanded possibility.


The Unexpected Direction

The Up Choice reminds us that motion forward in life often comes from the unexpected — from the direction we might have dismissed, denied, or never considered possible.

A crossroads is more than an intersection of paths. It’s the meeting point between the logically possible and the potentially improbable.

If you dismiss what seems impossible, you close the door to truth and opportunity. At every crossroads, left, right, and straight are certainly options — but they are not the only options.


Beyond Limitation and Fear

At the crossroads, you are offered the invitation to see beyond limitation and expectation, beyond judgment and fear.

You must dig deep to entertain the Up Choice.

You must give yourself space — a pause, a breath, a gap — to see beyond the limits of your mind and the fear lurking in your heart.


Choosing the Unexpected

When you come to a crossroads, a decision point:
Open to possibility.
Allow the choice of the unexpected.
Choose to look beyond limitation —
and find your Up Choice.
