The Narrow Path

Our lives can often be compared to a journey. It is both a collective experience and an individual one. This life's journey represents the path we take, marked by the choices we make. The societies in which we live attempt to shape this path through education, social conditioning, media influence, religion, and more. Most individuals tend to accept the predetermined paths that are laid out for them... opting for a "quiet, unchallenged, and somewhat unfulfilled life". This broad road of life has numerous parallel lanes... a subtle deception suggesting we're expressing our individuality when in fact few live their true individual uniqueness to their fullest potential.

And then there are others who have chosen a different path...
a narrow path. The route with more obstacles and challenges is less travelled, hence it has fewer occupants. There will be numerous failings and valuable life lessons along this path. However, we define ourselves not by the number of times we stumble but rather how many times we rise again. Despite facing distractions and hurdles that seem insurmountable at times, the reward for overcoming these challenges is a profound sense of fulfilment-an experience emblematic of Michael A. McKenzie's journey and the making of his album "The Road Ahead."
