Following my path

“To be a star, you must shine your own light, follow your own path, and don't worry about the darkness, for that is when the stars shine brightest.” ~Unknown.

Worrying has plagued me for most of my life. It was as natural as breathing for me. Mostly, I worried about making the right decisions or not being good enough. Trusting my gut was something I never did, which always led to disastrous results.

For instance, I tried going down roads that seemed to have worked for others. I took jobs that I hated, stayed in unhealthy relationships, went through the motions...it only lead to more frustration and confusion.

After a couple of life-changing circumstances and a TON of soul-seaching, I finally realized that listening to myself, but most importantly, doing what feels right, is what I should have done all along.

Today, it is rare for me to incessantly worry about all that time being wasted or not being good enough. You see, now I appreciate everything and everyone, good and bad, that has touched my life. Everyone of those experiences and people has shaped me into the person I am today --following my path out of the darkness and into the light. It is all part of HIS plan for me.

So, remember that you are always on the right path, when you follow your own. xoxo.
