Walking Our Own Path - Jane's Mindful Musings

Jane Witherspoon is a Canadian expat adventurer, yoga instructor and passionate rambler who recently relocated from Panama to Denia, Spain.

As we move through life, we have pathways that we follow from one phase to the next. Some of these paths will be smooth and flat, while others will be rough with a tough climb.

Your mission as you come to a change in life, when you create a divide in the path, is to figure out the route to your fulfillment.

How do we decide which path is right for us? As we embarked on our journey into adulthood, we may have been distracted by outside influences and voices defining who we should be.

Some of these were how we were raised, the expectations of how we will continue, societal pressure to fit within the guidelines to be accepted, or possibly we walked a path because we just fell into it, and it was "good enough".

Choosing OUR true path can be filled with fear. The most common is fear of gossip about our life choices, fear of being thought of disparagingly, looked at as being weird or kooky, fear of not fitting in, or the possibility of alienating those who have been close to us.

But to live a life of joy with a true sense of our purpose, we must listen to our inner voice. We must trust in ourselves, stand up for what we believe in and walk our path with conviction.

So now is the time as we walk into the next chapter of our life and to visualize our future. Decide what path is your path. It may, for some, involve space to meditate; others may journal or find new ways to express themselves with classes or a lifestyle change. 

So Sole Sisters, as you ramble through your week, I hope you find a path that gives you joy now and into your future.

Everyone has their own path.
Walk yours with integrity and
wish all others peace on their journey.
When your paths merge, rejoice for
their presence in your life.
When the paths are separated,
return to the wholeness of yourself.
Give thanks for the footprints left on your soul,
and embrace the time to journey on your own. - Unknown

True power comes from standing in your own truth
And walking your own path - Elizabeth Gilbert
