Path A or Path B?

Last week, I was standing in the airport watching the departure board.

My flight to Minneapolis was on time.
But the flight before mine?
Delayed.
Destination: Cayman Islands.

And for a brief moment… I paused.
I had my passport in my bag.
I could have walked to the counter.
I could have purchased a ticket.
I could have chosen differently.

Instead of the familiar.
Instead of the expected.
Instead of the responsible next step.
​
I stood there longer than I care to admit.
Not because I was actually going to reroute my entire life that afternoon.
But because I realized something.


Life is constantly offering us Path A or Path B.


Path A:
The reliable route.
The responsible choice.
The plan we told everyone about.
The one that makes sense.


Path B:
The whisper.
The pull.
The unexpected opening.
The one that doesn’t come with guarantees.


Most of us are beautifully conditioned to choose Path A.


It’s safer.
Predictable.
Socially approved.


Path B?
It asks for courage.
Trust.
A willingness to look a little irrational.


But here’s what I kept thinking as I waited to board...

The decision isn’t always about geography.


It’s about alignment.
Sometimes Path A is absolutely right.
Sometimes stability is sacred.


But sometimes we are choosing Path A out of habit.


Out of fear — not truth.
Out of “I should” instead of “I want.”
What struck me most in that airport moment was this:
The option existed.
And how often in life do options exist…
but we don’t even let ourselves consider them?


We don’t pause long enough to ask:
Is this the path I’m choosing?
Or the path I defaulted to?


There is no shame in either path.
But there is power in choosing consciously.


So, this week, I leave you with this...What path is calling you?


Not the one that makes the most sense on paper.
Not the one that earns applause.
Not the one that keeps everything comfortable.
But the one that feels quietly alive.
The one that makes your heart lean forward.
You don’t have to book the flight today.
But you can acknowledge the destination.
And sometimes, that’s where everything begins.
​
With moxie,
Robin 💛

​MAGICAL THINGS TO CHECK OUT

---

​If you’ve been standing at your own metaphorical departure board lately… pausing, reconsidering, wondering if there’s another path available to you — that is exactly why I created MOXIE.

This book, and the upcoming workshop, aren’t about reckless leaps. They’re about conscious choice. About trusting your inner compass. About choosing the path that feels like becoming. And if something in you is stirring right now, consider this your invitation.
