Alive
I think it not helpful to worry if one is on their path. It’s not helpful to worry. Also, if anyone’s experience be like mine, we may go a large portion of our life not even having these kinds of thoughts. A time of life might awaken us to threads that we realize we can trace “backward”.
The soul is always here, whether we’re aware of it or not. It’s expressing what it is. Its’ unique expression navigates life as best it can.
A rare gushing stream, tucked away high in a mountain peak somewhere in the world, exists whether we are aware of its’ presence or not.
To realize we might not be living up to our fullest potential is not an indication of failure. What is failure is ignoring all the clues to this. To be receptive to such insights proves we are doing alright, rather than the latter.
Begin where you are. Yesterdays’ troubles don’t need to be todays’.
A flash of such insight that you can begin right now, even all over again if you wish, is true.
You are not tethered to anything unless you think you are.
Only someone who thinks they can already see the building worries if they are doing it right. Your job is to build from the heart. This way you will not lose your place. The builder does not work with wishes but with the tools, knowledge, and material they have access to today.
In any moment we may wait for a miracle or we can be one. This is what it means to be alive.
