"As you start to walk on the way, the way appears." - Rumi
It's a common theme in the modern world today.
We are forced walk down the same path as everyone else.
A path that we do not necessarily want to walk.
We get fed up with this path and want to find our way out.
Our way onto the right path.
The path that we actually want to walk down.
But, then comes the biggest dilemma.
The roadblock which sends 99.9% people back to the path of conformity.
What is this roadblock?
It's finding our own purpose.
We get stuck.
We have no idea what our purpose is.
We are afraid to take the step into the unknown.
So we turn back.
We endure and hope for an eventual breakthrough.
But the answer is within us all along.
It may not be something which can be articulated into words.
But it can be felt.
Deep within our hearts and our souls.
It speaks to us in it's own language, unlike anything we've been taught to read, speak, or understand.
When you have a feeling of love and fullness in your heart.
When you listen to a piece of music which runs through your entire body.
When you're expressing yourself and are completely lost in the joy of the moment.
This is the language of the soul.
And it may not tell you exactly what your purpose is.
But if you listen to these subtle cues.
It's pointing you in the right direction.
And if you begin to focus your energy and your actions in this particular direction.
The path will only become more clearer for you.
If there is anything you can and should put your complete faith in, it's your own heart.
If there is anything you can trust, it's you, your soul.
Strive to live, live to strive.
