When I was younger, and ironically enough thought that I had all the answers, I spent a great deal of time, effort and energy trying to force open doors and follow a path that was not meant to be mine. I was certain that with enough effort and determination, I could make that path my own. But it was not until many years later that I achieved the wisdom that was needed to embrace the path that chose me rather than trying to forge the path that I thought I deserve.
