When you have walked back and forward, lost endlessly on well trodden paths. When you have wandered from sad to bad, from desperate to desolate and you find yourself staring into the abyss – don’t jump in!

Don’t let yourself fall and don’t allow yourself to be pushed.  Look around you for those ways less often used, by you or anyone else.  They may not be immediately obvious, it may be that you have to search for them and it may be that you need to call out to a friend to help you.

The most wonderful paths in life are those where you have to seek the way, to push through obstacles, to explore, sometimes doubling back on yourself before you find the way.  But in the end those paths can lead you to a feeling of achievement, self worth, peace of mind, security, happiness, health or all of these. Life isn’t always a straight, flat road.  We are meant to work hard to climb the hill, so we can be rewarded with the view and the pleasure of the stroll back down.
