The Power of Personal Choice
No matter the starting point in the game of life, it ultimately revolves around the choices made along the path. Traveling your own journey, whether over the rocky terrain of an uphill climb or the smooth vastness of a dry desert, means enjoying YOUR path without peering over an imaginary wall to view others' progress or lack thereof. Observing their paths from where you stand isn't beneficial to you or your own experience.
Staying the course and enjoying the steps of the journey you have mapped out for yourself is the way to fully appreciate and see your vistas. Comparing your choices to anyone else's can lead to dissatisfaction in your own journey. Living through the expectations or desires of others may only provide fleeting moments of pleasure, where you receive accolades, but this pales in comparison to aligning with your own guidance and acknowledgments while remaining true to your own path.
You are creating and curating an experience that encompasses what may seem like lessons for your overall being, all while enjoying the entirety of the journey. Choosing to ski downhill while wishing you were lying on a sunny beach robs you of the full enjoyment of the experience at hand and the dream of what is yet to come. Stay focused on the present moment and your current experience, allowing yourself to daydream about other experiences that may lie ahead during your periods of rest.
Enjoy the mundane, the beauty of a walk, or even the task of chores. Each millisecond or moment of wavering from your feeling of contentment serves as a recognition of your current vibration. Feel pleasure and stay the course; love surrounds your every step.
