Pathways.
There's always a pathway for you to choose whether to decide or to give up. There are no wrong turnings. Only paths we had not known we were meant to walk. You never know what's around the corner. It could be everything. Or it could be nothing. You keep putting one foot in front of the other, and then one day you look back and you've climbed a mountain. No one saves us but ourselves. No one can and no one may.
We ourselves must walk the path. As a single footstep will not make a path on the earth, so a single thought will not make a pathway in the mind. To make a deep physical path, we walk again and again. To make a deep mental path, we must think over and over the kind of thoughts we wish to dominate our lives. Life is full of adventure. There's no such thing as a clear pathway. You can choose a direction that will take you into something that isn't going to take you where you want to go, or you can choose another direction which is down the right pathway. Don't accept that you can't make a difference. Because if you can't make a difference, you won't make a difference, and if you put a multiplier on that we will continue on an unsustainable pathway.
Obedience to God is the pathway to the life you really want to live. If you are facing in the right direction, all you need to do is keep on walking.
