The Road Less Walked

A folk tale has been told us for centuries about Selkies beings. who look like seals and can transform from seals into humans by shedding their seal skins. But without their seal skin, they are unable to return to the sea.

There’s a story that’s told a fishman who caught a glimpse of a selkie who removed her skin, he was so enamored about her. he could not handle the idea of losing her back to the sea.

So he steal her seal skin, trapping her on the land. hid the seal skin where no one could find it.

Without the seal skin, Selkie adapted her life living on the land.

Years went by. she married to the fisherman, they had children together. she comforting herself everyday that she thought her life will be end on the land.

One day, while she finish her house work, one of her children back to home, approached her with something strange he've found while playing.

On his hand, he was holding a seal skin, the seal skin that Selkie almost forgot.

Selkin looked her seal skin, she felt the call of her essence, the essence that she had hidden under her human adaptations for so many years.

She loved her children, the life on the land and even her husband after so many years. But the call of the sea was too powerful to resist.

It awakened something deep inside her, a part she had tried to silence for years.

Selkie held the seal skin close, her hands trembling as she felt its familiar weight.

As the sun dipped low, she said bye to her childrens with tears, slipped on her seal skin, walked to the shore, with a final glance at the land.

Selkie stepped into the waves, never come back to land again.

But anytime her children or husband were down by the shore, they often saw a seal watching them from the waves in the distance.

The tale of the Selkie isn’t just a folk story. It’s a reflection of us.

We adapt to the world around us-hiding our essence to the environment.

We slowing learned shed pieces of who we are, replacing them with masks and habits - that help us fit in, get by, and feel safe.

But deep beneath, the voice that we forget is calling far from where we can see. but we have sense it.

When we’re alone in the silence. A quiet, persistent pull toward the part of you that remembers who you really are. it’s talking inside your head, it knows you meant for more than just surviving.

What happens when you answer that call?

It’s not easy.

Just like Selkie, it means confronting the life you’re built while living without your “seal skin.” It means facing hard questions:

• Have I been living for myself, or for others?

• What parts of me have I buried to make this life work?

• Have I keep waiting for something extraordinary will happen?

You still think inside your head- someday my meaning of life will find me.

But the clock doesn’t stop clicking, the world is shifting, 2025 is not the year for settling anymore.

It’s the year you refuse to live a life that’s less than what you’re capable of.

It will be you breaking down the walls you built to protect yourself.

It will be feeling vulnerable but alive, raw but real.

It will be stepping into the unknown with courage to find YOU again.

The process will challenge you. You’ll face the beliefs, fears, and habits that kept you in the old pattern.

You’ll learning, leveling up your skill to get closer with your higher self.

You’ll feel expose, like a newborn navigating a brand new world.

People that around you won’t be recognize who is this, people will judge you with their confuse stares and whispered opinions.

But their reactions aren’t about you-they’re about their own discomfort.

People judge what they don’t understand, especially when they see someone breaking free of the expectations they’ve accepted for themselves.

This isn’t about anyone more.

It’s about you.

It’s about walking into a life where you no longer settle, no more shrink, no more waiting.

You might feel you’re out of place, unsure if you’re heading in the right direction.

But here’s the thing:

The road less walked is only lonely because people don’t have the courage to take it.

They stay stuck—living for approval, avoiding risks, following paths laid out by others.

Not you.

You’re here because you’ve realized something they haven’t.

And now it’s your time to take the path, learn how to walk the road that less walked.

How to walk?

We learned walking when we were baby, we can’t even remember how we did.

But here’s what I know: you didn’t learn to walk by staying in your crib.

You gave up the comfort of crawling, of being carried, of knowing you wouldn’t fall.

You choose to risk the wobble, the uncertainty. Because something deep inside you knew there was more.

Your step one to the road that’s less walked is—

See the persona for what it is

Recognize the choices, habits, and situations that aren’t really you. The times you stayed quiet when you wanted to speak up. The life you wanted when the world around you was in chaos. The waiting for a miracle change that you thought might happen one day—that never comes.

After you recognize where you’re, ask yourself one question. Ask yourself one question:

What am I willing to give up to get what I want?

Every civilization throughout the beginning of time, has realized in one form or another.

To receive something, you have to give something.

The base system of the universe is exchange.

To go somewhere you’ve never been you need to become someone you’ve never been.

To walk on the road that you never walked, you have to let go of the version of yourself that’s tied to the life.

You need to step out the routine that let you wake up late.

You need to release the habits that keep you procrastine..

You need to let go of what you’re known for or what you’re good at.

This isn’t about losing; it’s about making space.

Space for you that’s been waiting to emerge.

After laying on hospital bed for 6 months, I will never forget the feeling when I first tried to stand up.

It was the first time in my life that I felt the weight of a human body. It felt I have never carried this much weight even when I was in gym.

My light spirit is bear down in a mountain.

But I have to leave the bed, i have to learn to walk for the first time in my life that i can remember.

Transformation requires action.

To bridge the gap between who you are now and who you’re becoming, it’s time for take aligned action toward the life you truly want.

Set one bold intention, write down one specific change you want to make this life that aligns with your true desires.

Take your bold intention and break it into small actions.

If you’ve realized you’ve been living for others, take one step to reclaim your time—say no to something that drains you.

Make one step toward your true desires: sign up for the class, make the call, write the first page, or have that difficult conversation.

Without action, all the clarity and decisions mean nothing.

The road less walked reveals itself only as you walk it.

You’ve already taken the first steps.

Now, it’s time to keep walking.
