"If you don't like where you are in life, there comes a point when you must give up the part of you that's keeping you back." -Dr. Sonya Friedman
Life is a journey, haven't we all been told that before. However, what no one says is that as you experience your own journey, you get to decide who is part of your journey - what they help carry, what special skills and experiences they bring with them, what you have to carry for them, and when their journey will eventually lead them down a different path. No two people - even sharing an ultimate goal - will ever travel the same path because the two experience every moment of every day with their own eyes, ears, heart, and soul. Every day we have the responsibility to follow our own paths because that is what we owe to whatever deity or evolutionary power brought each of us to today. If we do not live to our full potential, we are preventing the world from experiencing the profound power of uniqueness. No one is better than anyone else - we all experience the joys and sadnesses during our lifetime - nothing can save us from our eventual end - so I try to always remember that everyone is on their own unique journey - we meet many along the way who join in our merry band of travelers - learn from these fellow travelers the unique lessons they unknowingly share - our journey is the adventure, the experience, and the individuality of it. I try to remember that the ultimate destination for us all is the same - in the meantime, soar with your unique talents and share the humanity - the love, compassion, and interconnectedness - every day.
