The Path is Paved By Choices

“If the path before you is clear, you’re probably on someone else’s.” Joseph Campbell

Our path is one we need to clear. That requires making decisions. Choices. I think the world is full of people who are afraid to take ownership of their decisions because they don’t trust they can make the “right” one. But life doesn’t require a right choice; it requires a strategic choice that is made to the best of your ability with what you know. We can’t control outcomes.

The key to remember as you pave your own way is that someone has to decide. If you aren’t making the choice, someone else is making it for you. Don’t give up your agency even though it’s tempting to want to have someone to blame. Truth is you can’t blame someone you delegated your agency to. That is also a choice. Better to take ownership and move forward in courage.

Pave your own path with your best choices.
