Individual Paths

We all need to find our own path in life. If we all had the same path, it wouldn’t make for a very interesting world. Just because something is the right choice for someone else, doesn’t make it the right choice for me, and vice versa.

One of my close friends got married yesterday. I am so happy for her and her new husband. This was an important moment in their lives and I was honoured to be there to share it with them. I don’t doubt for one moment that the two of them are destined to spend their live together, raising some beautiful children.

That’s their path, but not mine. I think that’s part of what’s always confused me. I see how marriage and family is the right choice for so many of my friends. How that path is the right one for them. But it took me a while to realize that it just isn’t my path.

My path is spiritual. I struggle with it, but it feels so right. I feel completely comfortable in myself and at peace when I’m on my path. It includes Yoga asanas, meditation and other spiritual exploration. I know I am still at the beginning of the path and it excites me. I know it’s a path I’ll be on for the rest of my life. I found my home, it is in me, just waiting for me to centre myself enough to see it.

Today I’m grateful for clarity, beautiful weather, a restful Sunday, good friends and faith.
