A path untraveled is no different than missing an unexplored dream.

Missing the things that make a difference is more common then we realize. Open your eyes and your heart will follow.

Shortcuts may seem as if they have a faster and more beneficial answer, but do not be fooled by the disappointment of missing the longer more satisfying approach. When we decide to take a route that causes us to miss the hardship and lessons that follow, we miss an opportunity to experience the corners that love waits for us to turn on. We walk a path without willingness to take chances.

I remember I hoped and prayed that some day my compass would regain life and pull me in the right direction. I was scared to try different things because all of my past attempts failed my expectations. There are two problems there. Expectations are a way of pushing other things or people into controlling your outcome. Being scared is a way of creating expectations on everyone but your self.

When we take responsibility for the decisions we make and the roads we move forward on, we are the only ones in charge of letting our heart guide us with the strength to push forward through taking chances.

What will you do today to take responsibility of where you end up and how you get there?
