Take a look down at your feet and ask yourself this question: ‘Where have I been treading?’ Trace your steps back to see where you’ve been so far – does your chosen journey fill you with happiness? Some of us are creating an artwork out of our footprints, whilst for others a more sketchy course is underway.
We hear people say ‘I’m on the right path now’ with a glint in the eye and a smile that says ‘I’m proud and satisfied that I’ve got here.’ Suddenly for them, life seems to make great sense – with everything coming together beneath their eyes in a magnificent tapestry. When you feel like this, like something extraordinary is happening, that is because it is! You are awakening to a meaningful life, you are following Your True Path.
Your True Path is what you came here to do, to be. It’s your life’s calling, your purpose, your reason for you! When you’re following Your True Path you simply come alive and see the beauty that is your life. All corners of you meet in the middle and you get to revel in great self-worth and appreciation. Ahh what a glorious time. ‘So why aren’t we all leaping onto our True Path? you ask.
Because you don’t always hear the calling. Your head may be so buried in your hands that you forget to look up and see the sky. Unaware that all the while the sky exists, so bright and clear for those who dare, with both meaning and determination, to put one foot in front of the other.
At certain points along life’s way you may wander off course, cross onto another or take a left turn instead of a right. It’s easy to get lured off sight, distracted from your True Path.
Your path looks a certain way, has it’s own distinct form which distinguishes it from someone else’s. The lines, bends and edging are all unique. No one else’s path looks the same. Not Emily’s, nor Laura’s, nor James’, nor Richard’s. No-one’s.
Sharing precious moments with loved ones is wonderful. To feel such love, comfort and affection. Be sure to take pleasure in dancing and skipping through the blueberry wood! Just be careful to see the way back to Your True Path before dark. Because although everything may taste so sweet, seasons will change, the sweetness will fade and your loved ones will be walking a different step to you.
Let’s tweak the original question: ‘Where will I be treading today?’ What kind of life do you want to orientate? It’s time to stop the aimless wandering, dilly-dallying by the side of the road and start proudly walking Your True Path!
Create a picture for yourself of the kind of path you want to follow, the direction you want to head in, the person you want to be. Start acting more and more in tune with your picture and think carefully about what your next steps will be….
