Embrace Your Unique Path: The Power of Authenticity
The vast array of paths in your life is infinite, and the varied ones you can take to get to where you think you want to be are multifaceted. It’s best for you to feel your way, guided by your enthusiasm and passion, rather than map it out with your cognitive skills. If you rigidly follow the path of others or one that has been set out for success, you are following someone else’s journey—a path that isn’t truly unique to any one person. It is merely a framework or a guide that others took to reach where they are. If they are exactly where you think you want to be, then loosely follow that framework.
However, in reality, if you follow what feels right to you—what you have the urge, desire, and impulse to do—even if it seems as mundane as turning right instead of left or going here rather than there, everything will unfold in ways that lead to more of anything that brings you the same or greater level of exuberance.
You are unique; each of you chose to experience this life as that unique self. If you try to be anyone other than yourself or follow too closely in someone else’s footsteps, you dull or mold your true essence into something else, which isn’t even possible. You may wear a suit or shoes that are perfect for someone else but don’t fit you at all. They will cause you pain or irritation. You can dull the pain by developing calluses, or better yet, wear what fits you.
You all have a place in the cosmic puzzle, and it is perfectly your size. Any morphing into anything other than yourself won’t fit. Be you, quirks and all. Only follow what you feel compelled to do within the loose constructs of your society. The beauty of the simplicity of being unique is undeniable. You will feel better physically, emotionally, and at your deepest levels. Contentment and satisfaction are your birthright. Claim them.
