The path is always ours to choose

Posted on by philipdodson

There is no right or wrong path.

There is just the one that we choose to take, and we choose every single step, every twist and turn, every diversion, every deviation, every change in direction, every single thing is down to us and our choices.

Even how we choose to react to accidents, bumps in the road, potholes, traffic jams, the road ahead is ours and it always will be, whatever happens.

We choose the next step, the next turn, to go faster, to go slower, to stop and then when to carry on or turn back.

Whatever it is, we choose it, so there is no point in wondering where to go next, just let the flow of this moment take you to it and the choices you make now, not the thoughts of the choice you may take as they rarely come to fruition and when they do the road is different to when you made your decision. So it never turns out as you thought it would so there is no point in over-thinking it, just do or do not.

Take the next step now and don’t worry the path is there for you whatever comes.

Open the show

We often get convinced by our mind to view life as like a series of rehearsals before we actually get round to life. Like a practice run, nearly always in the mind, setting out all the outcomes of doing something, instead of actually doing it.

We put things off, because of fear, and wait for the right time! Of course, the only right time is now as no other time exists beyond our minds.

Amazingly, we can only ever do things now, in this moment…that is the only time life is actually real, the rest is imaginary or memories of the past.

Yet we are always planning to be doing things other than doing them now. We schedule them into plans, endless plans and re-written plans. All of it to avoid actually doing.

We are here just once, why wait? Why rehearse these things in our minds? Why be worried about the fear of doing? Whatever happens, we can always deal with it.

We never know beyond now, so we just don’t know what might happen so there is no point in fearing it or speculating about it…it will be what it will be. Changing the focus to the doing now stops the thinking and worrying about the outcome.

Stop rehearsing and open the show…the world is waiting for you.
