Dreaming is the act of consciously writing your own future. While following your dreams is more rewarding in the end, it often is the rockier road to take. It is easier to go along avoiding your dreams by convincing yourself you are trapped or unable, but you are not. You are alive and everything you could ever want is at your fingertips, if only you would focus and decide in your mind you will.

It's worth it, I keep telling myself.
The road may be rockier but the views are breathtaking and the journey is absolutely priceless!
However, we must be equipped and most importantly be wearing the right footwear while we tread. Listen to your intuition on this for we are all on our own paths, all with different terrains.
Mine says, "No heels; you won't need vanity.
Sturdy; you will need the support.
Not to heavy; to weigh you down.
Not to dainty; with no protection.
Cruelty free materials; for good karma.
and ones which will weather the weather for this will be a long haul."
When you do find the right fit for the path you are on, your walk will surely be full of delight!
You may even be barefoot walking on the soft spring grass by then, but first you have to get there.
I will continue to adjust by trying different shoes and paths until one is the perfect match. I refuse to get stuck with uncomfortable shoes on a walk in the wrong direction.
I hope you will too. It makes for a more peaceful world when the people living in it are fulfilled. While we may be uncomfortable for a little while through our trial and error, it is all a learning process towards enlightenment. Also keep in mind that the journey never ends. There is always something else over the next horizon and always room to grow.
