Paths...

Sometimes the path is clearly marked. Other times it takes experiencing what's not the path to recognize the path. By path, I mean a course of action, a way.

It seems in life, there are many paths. And each one starts with a choice. Each choice starts with a perspective. Each perspective, a pattern of belief or judgement. Or, choosing a path starts with a choice based on a commitment. If I am committed to deepening my spiritual awareness, I may make choices in line with such a commitment. If I'm committed to having lots of money, I may make choice based on such a commitment.

In listening to many people's experiences and based on my own experience, commitment is a very powerful path illuminator. It lights up the way. Being committed shows a course of action. One step at a time while holding the overall commitment is a balance of trust and action. Of allowing and being at cause.

Once a path is lit, there may be all sorts of assistance attracted to supporting the steps along the way. Commitment is a way to let the powers that be know where I'm headed. Action is how I show my commitment. Enjoying each step is what keeps me present.

What are your commitments? What are the action step? What if you took an action every day? Every week?
