Choose the right path in your life.
Many of us grow up not knowing what we want to do with our lives. It can take years to figure it out and some never do. Many of us change jobs, careers, move to a different location, country and even different relationships, searching for their purpose and destination.
To achieve success in finding your way, soul-searching is a necessity. You need to ask yourself "what do I want in life?" Think about your strengths, your weaknesses and most importantly your passions. It may take a day, a week, a month or even longer, but when
you answer your question, your personal destination becomes clear. Your direction will
not fall in your lap, so don't waste another moment, create an inner compass and find it yourself.
Life is all about many paths. There are no two people in this world whose journeys are
the same. What people must realize is that all paths are different. Each leads someone in
a different direction, ultimately leading them to your purpose in life.
Each thought, moment, decision and experience leads us to a new path in our journey. Choosing the "right" path is a difficult subject to discuss, after all who's to say that a path
is right for one person, but wrong for another? It's about your thoughts, where you are in your journey. You will be able to ultimately determine how and when to seek opportunities
in front of you. These decisions will all inevitably take you to a whole new path in your life.
Life is like a journey down the road. It mostly goes straight, but you do come across bumps on the road. When you reach a bump in your life, you need to make a decision to choose the right path that you should travel on. The right path is then the chosen path taken that enables individuals to increasingly meet their needs. Yes it is true the bumps on the path can set you back, but when you are faced with great decisions, like to work or not to work, an individual would choose to work in order to have the money to provide themselves with food, water and shelter.
What is the right path? Right or wrong vary from person to person. In order for a person
to choose the right paths in their life, they have to understand where they stand in meeting their needs, and make decisions to increase their abilities to meet those needs. In which case, no path is definitely right, and no path is definitely wrong. Right or wrong is dependent
on the individuals, their needs, their personalities and their circumstances.
A human being's ability to choose is a privilege and a responsibility. In my opinion, the two goes together. You cannot take one without the other. If you want to be free to make your own choices, you must be ready to accept the responsibility for the consequences that will derive from those choices.
You may ask "Why should I allow anyone to tell me what to do? Why should anyone allow it? Although, you see how some people may be well intended, you still fail to understand what makes them think that anything that they could tell you will be better for you, than your ability to make your own choices.
The bottom line is, no matter what others may tell you to do, at the end of the day, it has to be your own choice and decisions to act on it. The last thing you want is for someone to make up your own mind for you, and to be in control of your destiny and choices.
Our circumstances may be parallel, but they are not the same. The choices may be comparable, but not equal. The outcomes may be similar, but they will never be identical. You have to be comfortable with the choice and path you are on.
I am my own person with a unique and specific set of conditions that impact my life, my thinking and my beliefs. However, because I refuse to follow the path that others have taken, I have been called stubborn. Because I claim to know better what is best for me,
I have been called arrogant. Because I stay focused on what is important for me, I have been called inflexible. I accept these names gladly, since it is a small price to pay for my freedom to be and to choose for myself. However, at the end of the day, it is invigorating and empowering to know that I control my life.
At the end of the journey, the choices I have made in my life have taken me at times to a very successful place. This is the place where I experience the fulfillment of knowing that
I arrived there because I, and only I, elected it.
Other times, my choices have taken me through a path of tears and disappointments. In spite of the outcome not being the expected joyful one, I have upon reflection felt fulfilled. More often than not, when I evaluate the choices made and the path taken, I conclude that
I am still at a successful place because the learning process I endured has made me a far better person. Even in these instances, I am fulfilled because the choice was mine.
In the same manner, you have control over your life. Don't allow others to dictate the path you must follow. Don't permit others' disenchantment to become yours, and blind you to
the power that lies within you to direct your life to true fulfillment. Don't let others' fears limit your potential. Don't let your fears limit your potential.
Stand on your own two feet and make decisions based on what you feel, and what you
need to accomplish in your life. You need to have patience, perseverance and always keep in mind that your life is unique, your purpose is unique, and you are unique. Focus on these things while choosing the right path in your life.
When we talk about choosing the right path, we need to first understand that one of the greatest things of modern societies the freedom to choose which paths in life we want to take. Before we can start analyzing the various paths, we need to firstly know ourselves
and recognize the values that we have as individuals.
In my personal opinion the right path leaves you with no regrets and no doubts, eventually leading you to a purpose in your life.
Good luck my friends on your future endeavor.
