What Path Are You On?

 

 4:21 a.m.
It is possible to take a path that will lead you nowhere — well, nowhere you want to be in life.

This path you accidentally take is a result of the small decisions you make every day. They are decisions you make all the time that don't always seem very important, and in many cases you are not even aware them. These thoughts often come disguised as excuses or things you tell yourself on repeat or decisions you don’t see as life-changing when in fact they are very significant.


Long ago I shelved everything inside of me and walked down the path of mediocrity for many years. I woke up every day feeling like I wasn’t the right person. It felt weird. All of my hopes remained hopes and any opportunities to embrace who I was or what I wanted were ignored.

In light of breaking free of this temporary, semi-isolated, existence we all find ourselves in at this moment, do you really want to continue to accidentally walk down the path of mediocrity and be separated from where you want to be in life?

Instead how about you try to keep going when you don’t feel like it, be the best you can be to the people that matter and remember quality is subjective, examine every part of your life and remove the things that cause atrophy, and do the small things well.


We are not born mediocre. We make little decisions day by day that lead us down the path we call “unsuccessful”. So remember, if they are decisions we make, that means we are in control and we can get on the right path.

Figuring out Life can be tough, but keep in mind…




We can't predict the future
We don’t know what lies ahead
All we can ever do is try to figure out a plan

Your friends and significant others
                don’t know the future either

Your life is YOURS to live –
Don’t let them plan your life for you
Enjoy what’s happening now; hang out,
and do things with your friends

At least "now" is reality – so make the most of “now”

Uncertainty and change are a big – normal – part of life
So, learn to become comfortable with “not knowing right now"

Procrastination, although common,
                can really stop you from succeeding

Just take a step and act – regardless of the way you feel
You need to learn to focus – and ignore all distractions
Otherwise, you’ll never really make progress or succeed

Life is full of chances – you can usually try again
Or try another option if you mess things up this time
