On life paths

Just a quickie for you this week — a quote that’s been swirling inside of me lately:

“If you can see your path laid out in front of you step by step, you know it’s not your path.

“You own path you make with every step you take. That’s why it’s your path.”

— Joseph Campbell

How many of us have anxiety, fear, or hesitation because we can’t see the next eighteen steps of our path?

How many of us cling to paths that may not be right for us, simply because they offer more clarity, certainty, and well… a path forward?

Of course, it’s sometimes true that you do know the next eighteen things you need or want to do. On the first day of medical school, perhaps.

But often — and especially with big life questions — you don’t.

Often the path is made with every step you take.

Often you can only see one step in front of you at a time.  

What’s stopping you from taking that next right step?

As always, I’m rooting for you. You’ve got this.
