Take a different route.

In life there are two ways to do things.  The standard, regular, and normal way, and than there is "the way".

The standard, regular, and normal way of doing things is paved with 'certainty'.  If you do things this way, no one will blame you for failure.  You did what you could.  You did what was expected.  You took the normal road.  Sometimes you win, sometimes you fail.  No leap of faith necessary.

"The way" is paved with 'uncertainty'.  No one else does things this way.  It is completely and utterly abnormal.  This route was completely unexpected.  You took a leap of faith.  You suspended the rational, regular way of doing things. You succeed.

To plead for her nation, Queen Esther didn't go to the beauty parlor.  She didn't get a manicure and get her hair done.  She took a different route.  An unexpected route.  She fasted.  For three days.  She took a leap of faith.  She succeeded.

Take a different route!

P.S. This is dedicated to Naomi Yudanin who expressed appreciation in my writings and has given me the impetus to continue writing.

@Naomi, you didn't expect that.  I didn't think so.  I took a different route.
