A Quote for Today: 'Look inside for direction'

“If you see your path laid out in front of you -- Step one, Step two, Step three -- you only know one thing... it is not your path. Your path is created in the moment of action. If you can see it laid out in front of you, you can be sure it is someone else's path. That is why you see it so clearly.”
-- Joseph Campbell

What? No one to follow? Now that’s a scary thought! And yet, that’s what life asks each of us to do – to chart our own path. We are each unique. We’re told our uniqueness is our gift to the world. And so why would we even want to follow in someone else’s footsteps? Can we trust ourselves to carve our own trail?


“To know how to choose a path with heart is to learn how to follow intuitive feeling.”
-- Jean Shinoda Bolen
