The Path

“Look at every path closely and deliberately. Try it as many times as you think necessary. Then ask yourself, and yourself alone … Does this path have a heart? If it does, the path is good. If it doesn’t, it is of no use.” – Carlos Castaneda

Our choices and paths are as wide and deep as the ocean. We often get stuck on the same path and think it’s the only one so we remain. We accept comfortable and familiar over completion and fulfillment.

Our compass, our heart knows better, so listen carefully. And then move, begin the work. There will be delays and detours on the way, but if we’re on the right path it is part of the whole journey. Enjoy each day, be kind and put your heart into each minute. Does your path have a heart?

“Just imagine becoming the way you used to be as a very young child, before you understood the meaning of any word, before opinions took over your mind. The real you is loving, joyful, and free. The real you is just like a flower, just like the wind, just like the ocean, just like the sun.” – Miguel Angel Ruiz
