How do I know that I am on the right path?

There is only one path.

Wherever you are is perfect and necessary for your destiny. Opening to this now, this here unlocks the treasures you need to level-up.

Like most adults, I think about life in terms of the Super Nintendo classic—Zelda, A Link to the Past.

We dash about from one area of the spacetime map to another, picking up a potpourri of skills, tools, and potions to successfully find and enter the next castle, destroy its menacing boss, and reemerge into daylight against a backdrop of a beautiful melody and equipped with the capability to wash and repeat at a higher, never-before-accessible level of performance.

New castle, new boss, new treasure, here we come.

Realizing that to progress on your only path you must wring out the current situation of its lessons and life trinkets will open your eyes/heart/mind to the endless possibilities present.

You probably won’t know what <insert magic token here> is for when you find it, but you’ll knowknow that you need it and you can’t go further without it.

Rather than question “Where is the correct path?,” ask “What do I need? Why am I here?”
