make peace with your decisions

"the path begins at a crossroads. there you can stop and think what direction to take. but don't spend too much time thinking or you'll never leave the spot. ask yourself the classic carlos castaneda question: which of these paths has a heart? reflect a lot on the choices that lie ahead, but once you've taken the first step, forget the crossroads forever or you'll always torture yourself with the useless question, "did i take the right path?" if you listened to your heart before making the first movement, you chose the right path.


love your path. without this, nothing makes sense."

- paolo coehlo, from "life: a walker's guide...how to honour and care for the path you're on"
