Paths aren’t always straight, they can twist and turn, go up..

People wouldn’t celebrate in reaching the summit if the path had not presented challenges along the way.
If we spend all of our time focused only on giving others what they want, then we may sacrifice the time necessary to develop a life that yields our own personal success and joy. Yet to be successful and to feel joy we must focus on more than our own selfish wants by pushing others to success, giving them what they want. This, my friends, is why life can feel so challenging, but also why we must always consider the whole picture. Living a harmonious life that spreads joy and garners success is not easy, quite the opposite, but those who acknowledge this fact, they have finally turned onto the right path. 💜
Don’t stop pursuing your path even when it feels uncomfortable, keep going when it feels easier to stop, and if you know you’re on the right path don’t veer off even if you start to feel a little turned around.
That is my “Sunday Shelly Sentiment” for today. I like to put reminders like this in words as much for myself as anyone else. 🏞️
