Follow your Path

[pam]

Have the courage and the heart, the centeredness,
to follow your own path, to be who you are and love being
who you are, no matter what things may befall upon your path~
Always shine your light out into the world~ you light is special~
Never let anyone tell you otherwise~
Never allow setbacks or even major betrayals
to dampen your shining light and your being
You are everything you need to be, just as you are, right now
You are the center of your own life
You are the beacon that shines and shows the way

In life's journey you may encounter narrow paths blocked by avalanches,
forks in the road shrouded in fog, deep valleys of darkness and bright
sunny days in meadows of golden poppies.

It is all a part of life.

And as you walk your path,
other people will join you for a time: a dear friend, a lover,
a spouse, children and parents
And then they may go away

And through it all, the only constant is that you are you,
that you have a core of truth within you
and a path to walk,
and if you allow your core of truth
to tell you which fork in the road to take,
if you allow that internal compass
to tell you which mountain to climb,
then you will do well indeed and have a fulfilling,
interesting life
If you go chasing after others,
trying to make things be other than how they naturally are
, then you will find yourself suddenly awakening
in a deep forest without knowing where to turn
You will find yourself lost and confused,
because you have lost touch with your own personal truth

And when this happens,
you must just sit down in the forest,
become very still, and return to yourself
You must reach down and find yourself again
before you continue walking,
or else you will simply go around in circles,
becoming more desperate and alone and lost

What you need to do with all relationships,
including those that have that instant and deep connection,
is let be
You need to allow all of life,
including close relationships, flow and evolve
You need to let people be who they are
, not what you want them to be
And above all, you must not try to control,
push and prod, manipulate and orchestrate relationships
Be glad when others walk beside you,
enjoy their company,
connect as closely and deeply as you can,
but always, always, shine your own light
and walk your own path and allow them to do the same
Here is a little prayer for today

I am a light that shines brightly
I am the truth and the core and the center of my own life
I am all that I need to be, just as I am, right now
I love who I am and I love my life
I allow myself to be and evolve
and I allow my life to flow
I am.. love and power
I am freedom
I am light
