Finding the path

When you are in a dark place and  you are struggling to find a path, no matter how many signs you read, or how many routes you follow, it can feel as if you have lost your way.

Try not to be concerned with where to put your feet when trying to find safe footing, instead look down the road ahead to where it might take you and having found a turning that tempts you, follow it with a certain swagger and determination, and if all you  managed to do was keep going, take pride in that, gain strength from it and learn to trust yourself again.

 There will be times when you feel as if you are going anywhere but in the right direction, but things will get better, if not today then tomorrow or next week, remember everything does not have to happen right now.

When something you know you must do scares you, the adrenaline will cause you to fight or take flight, choose to fight and do it anyway, but don’t think you have to do it perfectly; just do it right, right for you, not anyone else.

 Don’t waste your life worrying about things that don’t matter or you will never move on to those that do... Spend your life however it comes, don’t save it for the time everything changes.

  “Hope begins in the dark; the stubborn hope that if you just turn up and try to do the right thing, the dawn will come"
