It is good to question the path you are on… Sometimes we get led down the wrong path because we don’t ask enough questions.

It is good to question the path you are on… Sometimes we get led down the wrong path because we don’t ask enough questions.
Like trees that grow side by side and become intertwined with each other, we are all connected and fecund with the possibility of new growth…
“I welcome the chance to learn from every person with whom my life interacts for we are all connected. I recognize that I am green as the new leaves that grow upon the trees, and in my learning I too will grow.” – Pamela J. Leavey

“Happiness is a choice, not a condition. I can choose to be happy, or I can choose to be unhappy. Truly, what choice is there to make, but that of happiness, when I know that happiness is the Universe’s choice for me. This is not to say that there are times, circumstances, situations that truly warrant sadness and cause emotional suffering, however to remain in suffering too long is to wallow. If I am to wallow, then let me wallow in joy and the knowledge that Heaven is here, now.” – Pamela J. Leavey

When we are weighted down with troubles and woes, we can easily start to lose confidence, sometimes without even being aware that that is happening. Even the strongest among us, with years of spiritual practice can find themselves doubting from time to time. To question our faith, to question our path, these are natural to us all. These are healthy questions from which we learn. And learn is what we are here to do.
Today, I re-mind myself that it is customary to question our beliefs, as that is part of the seeking. I affirm to question is to learn. No spiritual path is ever lined with rose bushes along a white picket fence. We have work to do along the way of our path, we have rocks to stumble over and brambles to wade through. Sometimes we will experience sheer bliss upon a path and other times we will suffer in the most profound ways. The purpose is the immerse fully in the path and not plant roses to mask the difficult parts of the journey, but let the path be our guide.
The path always guides me…
