Choose Your Path Carefully

Wandering through the forest of life is a challenge. The twists and turns never lead where you expect. You may turn left, and end up right. You may go forward, and end up further back than whence you started. Confusing. Tedious. Exciting. Life.

The only way you will ever truly get out of that forest is by making your own path. Following the streams of light that break through the canopy above can only get you so far. That light lets the truth flow in and bathe you, allowing you enough Truth to embark on your own journey. Like any good adventurer would do before embarking though, items need to be stocked up on so any encounter with the unknown can be readily faced.

But, what are those items? There is no specific set of items. It varies depending on the adventurer. Each adventurer has a different path they will follow, and along that path, different obstacles that must be overcome. But, some essentials could be suggested for every adventurer to hold tight and dear to them.

Attitude. One item that can be the determining factor if an adventurer survives the journey or not. If an adventurer has a negative attitude, their path will be filled with negative obstacles, negative events, and above all, a negative aura. The opposite can be said for those adventurers who are lucky enough to have obtained a positive attitude. They look at the positives in life, and thus, the positives come to them. Their path will inevitably be much more positive.

Equipment. The weapons, the defense, and the potions that the adventurer outfits themselves with. If an adventurer heads out on a path that is much to dangerous for them, and their equipment is much too weak to help them survive, they won't last long. Each adventurer needs to realize the strengths and weaknesses their chosen equipment lays upon them, and use those to their advantage. They need to realize what they can handle, and what they can't. Without the proper equipment, the proper path cannot be taken. The adventurer will be lost in the forest riddled with Truth.

Friends. The most important asset to any adventurer. As they follow their path, that path the adventurer is following will cross with other paths. How those paths affect one another is up to the two adventurers. Will it be a positive or negative affect? Will those paths be connected forever, or will one path end the path of the other? Who can say with complete certainty. Only the Truth straining to break through the canopy can really say, but it is only able to give hints through those leaves. Friends can help overcome the obstacles on your paths, or they can become the obstacles themselves. A risky business, friends are, but one of the most profitable if cared for.


Will you come out of the forest unscathed, or will you be lost in this forest sprinkled with Truth forever?
