There are two ways to follow in life, divergent paths that occasionally cross and in the end always bring you back to the beginning. Follow a path of “self” denial and pain and you will probably end up back there sooner than you would expect; follow the path of your heart and there will be untold bliss along the way together with some challenges that stretch you and make you grow, ultimately bringing just more joy.
I have chosen the latter path after decades of struggling along the former. Led to a crossroads some years ago by a painful series of life-altering experiences, I made the choice to change my path and commit to it and since then a butterfly of unexpected proportions and untold beauty has come to light where before there lurked an unfulfilled caterpillar too scared to venture off his path and into the chrysalis from which to emerge as was always intended.
Each and every one of us starts as a caterpillar in life and the path we choose decides whether or not we survive long enough to pass through the challenges of our chrysalis stage and emerge as that unique, gentle yet radiant butterfly whose template is indelibly printed on every cell of our being.
So, now watch me fly and as you do so, decide whether you are ready to choose a new path for yourself to a glorious if uncertain future.
