Every single journey begins the same way.

A tentative, unknown, unsure first step. A step forward but unclear of what lies ahead.

Sometimes misty, foggy. No signpost. No lights, no markings, yet deep within you a gentle nudge something stirs.

An almost incoherent murmur yet you can hear it clearly and it whispers the way.

With no roadmap you have no idea how long this journey will take or, what bumps you might meet along your way. 

Nothing to prepare for how arduous or demanding the trail or road ahead might become. You instinctively know that you must follow it.

For a while now you have felt stuck. Feeling like life was passing you by. Almost like a bystander watching as your own life passed you by.

Starting to secretly wonder is this it? Is this what I came here for? Was this what I was meant to experience?

Doing the same thing over and over and over again. Driving the same route to work. Eating the same food every day. Seeing the same people every day. Having the same conversations every day. Rinse and repeat and do it all again.

Your aspiration’s had been to get a house and a car, and nice things and you got both. So, then you wanted bigger and better. So that’s what you got. A bit bigger and better even nicer stuff but it was still the same. Just that you were now in a bigger car as you drove the same route and on a bigger sofa with even nicer things around you as you watched the same thing the same news every day.

And then the day you became your curious.

At first you looked around for guidance. You looked everywhere. You read books. You joined communities looking for answers. 

Yet you still don’t know your way. Not realising you already had the map your yourself,  you found yourself asking people for directions to a place they had never heard of.  Or advice about a path they would never walk. 

One day exasperated and as a last resort you find yourself just becoming still. As you allowed the stillness in and began to quiet your mind something became clear.

 Was it your heart? Was it your soul?

What was the part of you that spoke?

Suddenly it hit you. You were being shown the way the path.

So, you start moving slowly. Cautious, careful calculated steps to begin. As you start to move it suddenly feels right. It feels warm and fuzzy and like where you belong.

Encouraged you move faster, quicker.

Invigorated by this new feeling, You start to see things as though you were seeing them for the first time.

 Scared yet bravely, you move forward each step you realise more. Understand more.

 Starting to understand and then one day you know. You inherently and to your core, know. 

 Your pace quickens and with commitment dedication and focus start You start to run in that direction. The direction of what you now know to be your…. path
