Am I
on
the right path?

This question
is frequently asked
by people
who believe
they are on
a spiritual pathway.

They ask
the question
when they are getting
spiritual readings.

They ask
the question
of other spiritual people.

They ask
the question
of themselves.

They seek
their answers
from others.

They seek
their answers
from cards,
clairvoyants,
and psychics.

What
is
the right path?

Who says
it is
the right path?

What if
the path today
is not
the path tomorrow?

Who knows
the path
for you?

In reality,
the path
of spirituality
has nothing to do
with a direction.

It has
everything to do
with a state.

For spirituality,
being spiritual,
being on the right path,
is a state
of existence.

How do
you know
if you are there?

Well,
the first step
is to ask
the right question.

That question
is not
“am I on the right path?”

That question
is
“am I listening?”

When you listen,
when you truly listen,
to the messages
being given,
then you will know.

You know
who you are,
where you are,
and where you are going.

Being in touch
with yourself,
your guides,
and the Universe.

Being
in harmony
with your environment.

Doing what you know
to be appropriate
for you
and for others.

Understanding
your role,
undertaking
your role,
being responsible
for your role.

The right path
is all about
listening.

Do not search
for answers
from others,
look within.

Everything
that you want,
everything
that you need to know,
is all within you.

Find
the peace
and serenity
of being in harmony
with yourself.

When you do,
everything else,
just is.

You handle it,
you live it,
you experience it,
you are it.

So,
next time
you ask
the question,
which one
is it going to be?
