Don’t Fall Off a Cliff
When choosing your path, sometimes you reach a cliff it’s best not to fall off of.
When you decide to take control over your destiny and walk a path of your choosing, there are many obstacles you’ll encounter along the way.
Some will be external. People, places, things, and such — both tangible and intangible. They might be major obstacles and roadblocks, or minor. While outside of your control, how you interact with and react to them is on you.
Others will be internal. Disbelief, lack of faith, outdated beliefs, and habits buried deep in your subconscious in need of replacement. These are entirely in your control. Applying mindfulness for conscious awareness of their impact opens you to control them.
This can be bends in the pathway, literal and figurative obstacles, unplanned and unexpected detours, and numerous other challenges. Yet when you have a path you believe in and desire to traverse, you will become familiar with the obstacles and obstructions as you work with the process.
While choosing to walk your own path might or might not go against the grain of “the norm”, there is another consideration I’ve not discussed before — but can’t be ignored, either.
