You must always keep in mind that a path is only a path.
Each path is only one of a million paths. If you feel that you must now follow it, you need not stay with it under any circumstances.
Any path is only a path.
There is no affront to yourself or others in dropping a path if that is what your heart tells you to do. But your decision to keep on a path or to leave it must be free of fear and ambition. I caution you: look at every path closely and deliberately. Try it as many times as you think necessary.
Then ask yourself and yourself alone this one question. Does this path have a heart? All paths are the same. They lead nowhere. They are paths going through the brush or into the brush or under the brush of the Universe.
The only question is: Does this path have a heart? If it does, then it is a good path. If it doesn’t, then it is of no use. Carlos Castaneda, Anthropologist / Author (1925 - 1998). From The Tao of Photography. (via nezartdesign)
