The Path

I look at the path that is in front of me, at the path that my feet are on.

​The bridge, the path, is my business. 

If my path is a bridge over a cavern, and I focus on the cavern, I may lose my step. If I focus on the bridge, I'll stay on the bridge.
​
My path is my own future, my own destiny.

As I look at my path, even if it looks scary or difficult, I know that I know how to walk. I know how to put one foot in front of the other. I know how to stay on my path.

If my path takes me over a river, that river is not my path. It is not my business. I simply need to focus on my path, continue putting one foot in front of the other. 

I know how to walk.
​
Looking at the trees that line my path, I lose my step or stumble on an obstacle that I would have otherwise seen.  I might continue in a direction not realizing that my path has turned, and find myself no longer on my path - on somebody else's path, in somebody else's business. 

I acknowledge that other paths exist, and that they are not my path. 

I walk purposefully, intentionally, in order to stay on my path. ​​

When I walk with intention, I know how to walk. 

When I walk with awareness, I stay on my path.
