Why Choose Any Path at All?
You always get to decide things, whether consciously or subconsciously. Doing so consciously gives you influence and control.
There is no reason that you need to choose a path in life.
You can simply go about your day-to-day activities, and let life happen.
This might make you perfectly content. You may enjoy what life has to offer, and the adventure of your life may be ongoing and already acceptable to you. If that’s how it is, more power to you. You go with your bad self.
If, however, you are not content, desire to have more influence and control over your life, then you might want to seek and find paths to take.
This means different things to different people. No two paths are alike, though they can be similar. Further, how you traverse a given path is going to differ with each experience.
But why? Why not just let “life live you,” as I call it? Isn’t it easier to just go with the flow and not be specific about a path to anywhere in particular?
Why choose any path at all? Short answer — because there is more to life than just living.
