The Principle of the Path

Many times, we do have lofty ideas of where want to get to. Mentally, we can paint a very captivating picture of our life destination. However, we know that great intentions captured in beautiful imaginations do not transport us to our preferred future. Life is a journey, path, not intent, determines destination.

Imagination is great. We need it to put our intentions in perspective and perhaps to help in mapping out the journey. But think about it. No matter your dreams, your vision, your hopes or your good intentions…the path you’re on absolutely determines the destination.

We want to be great, we want to be known to be achievers of great things. We harbor impressive thoughts of how great we would become and what great stories will track our life-trail. Fantastic! But before we get on a roller-coaster ride to nowhere, we must ask the reflective question, " will the part we are on, lead to our preferred destination?"

Our best intentions– to become great and achieve great feats– would not matter; if the path we are on don’t lead to the preferred destination.

Forget about your dreams, your vision, your hopes, your intentions. Does the path you’re on actually lead to where you’d like to go?
