“You can see what needs to be done. If you can see the road, follow it. Cheerfully without turning back. If not, hold up and get the best advice you can. If anything gets in the way, forge on ahead, making good use of what you have on hand sticking to what seems right.” – Marcus Aurelius, Meditations, Book 10.12
I have not always followed the right path. I have not always made the best decisions.
We get caught up in the moment. What we think is a good decision at the time doesn’t look so good in the light of the next day.
That’s ok. Today I can find the right path.
We all think the right path is straight. That is not the case.
The right path has twists and turns. It even has switchbacks and places where you have to turn around and start over.
“Sometimes the right path is not the easiest one.” – Pocahontoas
Keep pressing on. If the right path were the easy path everyone would take it.
The right path will knock you down. It might even humiliate you.
You must find the courage to keep going. Put your head down, ignore the noise, and do the work.
