Wanting To Be

I have discovered that life is a path.

Life can be a narrow path or an 8-lane freeway.

Sometimes we live on a highway all week long and then walk a narrow mountain path on weekends.

They are the same road.

Time moves forward and time is your pathway.

Don't be dazzled by what your eyes see on your path.

Whether you walk on a city street with buildings or a country road of trees -- this is your path.

It's how you SEE YOUR PATH IN YOUR MIND that counts.

Everything in your reality is in your world and in your path -- if you decide it is.

Maybe you're a babysitter in the morning, a waitress by day, and painter by night.

All these things are in your path. They are not separate paths. They combine to create YOUR PATH.
