Pathwalking 39

Perhaps circumstances have put you in a bad place.  The question is – what do you do about it? This is a key aspect of Pathwalking.  Rather than being a victim of circumstance, the goal is to make your situations as you wish them to be.  But a huge challenge to this goal is often the circumstances therein. You certainly did not ask to lose the job, be incapable of paying the debt, be trapped in that relationship, be living

Are you grateful for the opportunity to walk your own path?

Pathwalking is about choice.  It is about being active instead of reactive.  And it is about empowering the self. Empowerment often scares people.  The idea of power has been twisted and skewed in such a way that we often view it as a negative.  But empowerment of the self is healthy, and a central aspect of Pathwalking.
