Folow the Yellow Brick Road
Author: Pinkee Venus-de las Alas

Do you sometimes feel that there’s something lacking in your life? If you do, what do you do about it? Would you acknowledge this feeling and try to find out what it was that you found yourself wanting? Or would you rather brush off the feeling and try all your might to erase the idea in your head?

Dorothy, the bubbly and gentle character from the Wizard of Oz, is like any other person trying to find her own path. I sometimes feel like Dorothy. I sometimes want to escape the world that I live in. I want to go to a place where I hope to find the “thing” that would make me feel complete.

I sometimes ask myself whether I’m living my life the way it ought to be lived. I often find myself pondering --am I doing what I do everyday because it brings me closer to my purpose in life? The life designed for me? But, is there really a grand design for each one of us? Is there really a yellow brick road that we have to follow?

My heart tells me to leave the corporate world-- a world that I have known for so many years. It tells me that I need to venture out into another world. I often hear a stirring echo inside me telling me, “Serve the children”. I often find myself praying for all children in the world to have a peaceful sleep-- “Oh dear Lord, at least for tonight, may all children be safe from harm”. Does my path entail service for innocent children? But this path is totally different to what I've been accustomed to. It's so unknown to me that sometimes the prospect of following this path terrifies me a great deal.

My head is stopping me from exploring this totally unknown and unpredictable "new world". It tells me that I have to be practical. It tells me to aim for success. It lectures me that success is something concrete; something that you can touch, smell and see. The sound in my head is so glaring that it sometimes overpowers the echo in my heart.

Follow the yellow brick road…a road that few people discover its existence. There are only a number of “Dorothy’s” in the world and I’m envious of them. I’m envious of their courage and desire to realize their life’s purpose. I’m in awe of their passion to pursue what their hearts tell them to do. I’m daunted with the way they bravely face the unknown.

Maybe someday I’ll be like Dorothy.
Maybe I’ll soon discover where my road leads.
Maybe someday I'll have enough courage to step into a totally different world.
Maybe someday I'll be able to live the life I ought to live.

Maybe… someday… ...you'll find this road too.
