Identifying The Right Path
LOST, CONFUSED, DISAPPOINTED? There are many life situations and experiences that are simply meant to be. Contrarily there are an even greater number of situations that ARE, but were never meant to be. Knowing the difference ahead of time can make life a lot more pleasant.
The experiences that are meant to happen, will occur despite any obstacles, delays or interference that might be offered or encountered. Advancing toward experiences that are not meant for us, will be met with moderate to strong resistance (in many forms), making that direction more difficult for those seeking to knock on a door meant for someone else. You may well survive the headwinds and get to your desired destination, but once there, you’ll not experience the satisfaction you sought or expected.
This is true in Relationships, Careers, Lifestyle and of course Love. This statement doesn’t presuppose destiny, but it does ruminate on the genetic and environmental contributors, which clearly illustrate that we are most compatible with a very specific set of purposes, and are individually equipped with the talents necessary to satisfy those purposes. Many of us fight these attributes for much (if not all) of our lives, seeking instead, some alternate direction that is inconsistent with our natural abilities and pleasure points. Natural abilities and comfort zones are not necessarily compatible, so don’t turn down the easiest path either. With reflection, you will inherently know what is right for you, so following someone else’s lead or advice involves careful consideration and decisions. Since it’s likely you will veer off path from time to time, it’s important that you learn something from each detour.
Arriving at the perfect destination, will yield the most pleasurable overall experience. Arriving at it early will result in your greatest long term satisfaction and fulfillment of purpose.
