You Are Always On Your Path

How much debris are you putting on it?

You Are Always On Your Path
Brooke Lyn Landon

We are always on our path. In every moment we are doing the best we can, and following our guidance to the best of our abilities. There are times when we focus on the mistakes we seemed to have made to the point we become oblivious to the perfection of the universe delivering to us exactly what we are asking and ready for. The paths we take always guide us to where we need and want to go. The question is, how much debris are you putting on it?

The opportunities we are all given to clear the debris from our path is equal. We always have the choice to clear our path and make the walk of life easier. However, when times are tough, and the momentum is already built, we so often continue throwing debris on our path to trip over later. That being said, those moments we trip are often the ones that wake us up and make us aware that we need to put in the work to realize the life we want, and eventually come to realize the life we wanted was right before us, we just weren't able to see it then.

How can we begin to clear our path so we can realize the one we're on is divine before we fall? Well, if negative momentum builds the debris, positive momentum needs to begin in order to create the wind to blow it off our path. It takes work to build that positive momentum and begin to translate that into something in which we can see and steadily feel when coming from a place of great contrast, but work doesn't have to be hard and painful.

Our work is to seek and feel relief whenever possible and release resistance. When we are focused on the problem, our job is to either focus on a subject that gives us a sense of ease and joy, or focus on the solution. It's our thoughts that need our attention, not the reality that has already been created. Consciously choosing better feeling thoughts and perspectives is like giving yourself a broom or vacuum to clear your path instead of bending down one by one to try to pick up the debris and getting all bruised up along the way.

Mindartist tip: Be aware of what you are thinking this week and begin to redirect your thoughts to please you more whenever possible.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
