Walk Your Own Walk

You have to walk your own walk in this life. And as you are traveling down
your road, don't look down at your feet. Keep your head up and your eyes
focused on what you know to be true. Be neither a follower nor a leader. You
are not forsaken; you are forgiven, and when shadows exist simply find
higher ground to tread upon. If you come across an obstacle or an impasse,
pay mind to it but don't focus on it for too long or your feet may sink into
the quicksand that surrounds it. Find the courage to surmount it and
continue on your journey.

Offer your hand to those you come across who are stuck in their own personal
sand traps, but do not point them in the direction you feel they must go,
that has to be their decision. Only imply to them that they are never alone,
and they will eventually find their way. When you get to where you are going
and you look back, it is your own footprints you are going to want to see,
not someone else's. The importance of your trials and tribulations is a gift
to be beholden, for that is how you will learn whom you truly are.
