Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.
-Ralph Waldo Emerson "Ralph Waldo Emerson"
Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.
When you find your path, you must not be afraid. You need to have sufficient courage to make mistakes. Disappointment, defeat, and despair are the tools God uses to show us the way.
-Paulo Coelho
Who knows this truly, and who will now declare it, what paths lead together to the gods? Only their lowest aspects of existence are seen, who exist on supreme, mystical planes.
The Eightfold Path: Right view, right aim, right speech, right action, right living, right effort, right mindfulness, right contemplation.
Man learns through experience, and the spiritual path is full of different kinds of experiences. He will encounter many difficulties and obstacles, and they are the very experiences he needs to encourage and complete the cleansing process.
Often the right path is the one that may be hardest for you to follow. But the hard path is also the one that will make you grow as a human being.

"Bully at Ambush Corner"
All of us have a path to follow and the path begins on earth.
-Richard Matheson
"What Dreams May Come"
To have a body is to suffer. Those who understand this, detach themselves from all that exists and stop imagining or seeking anything. The sutras say, “To seek is to suffer. To seek nothing is bliss.” When you seek nothing, you’re on the Path.
As the heat of a fire reduces wood to ashes, the fire of knowledge burns to ashes all karma. Nothing in this world purifies like spiritual wisdom. It is the perfection achieved in time through the path of yoga, the path which leads to the Self within.
Many are stubborn in pursuit of the path they have chosen, few in pursuit of the goal.
-Friedrich Nietzsche
