Walking the Right Path

Has someone called you good-for-nothing? You can be absolutely certain they said it looking only at your surface. The beauty and strength that lives within you—they never saw it. Either you didn't show it to them, or they lack the eyes to see.

Whose fault is it here? Yours, of course, if you accept what they said. We weren't born as human beings and sent here to accept defeat without even trying to win.

There's another world inside you. Have you ever gone there? Maybe you never found the time. How could you find it if you spend all your time with someone who can never see anything good in you? Someone who sees no good in you is no good for you.

If you've never discovered that inner world of yours, how would you know what it feels like to live there? If you suddenly started living there one day, it's entirely possible you'd begin changing, slowly but surely.

What does it take to go there? Not much really—just that you can't stay where it feels comfortable to stay. You'll have to force yourself away from the world you know, no matter how painful it is. Walking the right path is quite difficult; walking the wrong path hardly takes any effort at all.

The first step to proving the wrong person's words false is to accept in your heart that the person is wrong. The rest will happen by itself in time.
