A Path

[kokopelle]

The entirety of the thought is that even a path without heart is still only a part of a journey, and the journey, and the path that you are currently on, is not the destination. There is the old saying, “You’re exactly where you need to be”. This can be reworded as, “you’re exactly where you’re ready to be”. Additionally, awareness that you are on a path without heart provides the opportunity to change the situation.

Agreed! However what do you do when others in your sphere of influence seek to move in a direction contrary to where your heart lies?

That's an excellent question. The big answer is that you continue to move in the direction that your heart goes. Those who can follow will do so. Those who cannot will find their own way.

The personal answer is in the details. There are many forms of 'contrary' and many spheres of influence. Personal empowerment is both a right and a responsibility. The responsibility is to oneself and those included in the person's world. Temporary deferment of self is an option, but should only done so with full awareness and love. From this place the heart embraces the deferment. The journey that seems to change is instead guided to where it should be.
