Perhaps the hardest thing about the path is that it’s entirely up to us how far we go, how deep we go, how authentic we become. No one else can do it for us—it’s all ours, it’s the art of self-creation, it’s adult responsibility. It’s such a private decision we come back to time and again—Am I willing to do the work to find and to live my path? Do I have the faith, courage and persistence I need to keep getting back up off the ground when things go awry? How badly do I want an authentic life? What price am I willing to pay to create one?
