Thinking Out Loud: You’ll Know It When You Find It

To be a star, you must shine your own light, follow your path, and don’t worry about the darkness, for that is when the stars shine brightest. Always do what you are afraid to do. ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson

NOTE: It takes courage to follow one’s path. Following one’s path often means stepping away from the path that others craft for us. The indoctrination to the path starts early in life and the child comes to believe as he/she matures that the path is his/her destiny. In reality, there may be a different path that is calling. It takes lots of searching, mistakes, and missteps before one can find his/her true path. When we dare to walk in the darkness and search for our path, our heart lights the way. You’ll know it when you find it.
