Different paths
We each have our own, individual paths in life.

No one has the same path in life, so what is good for one person will not be good for another. For this reason, we should never rely on other people’s opinions (of what to do in life). This can be very detrimental, not only for other people, but for ourselves as well. There’s been many examples of people going to others and asking what they should do. Sometimes they’ll ask up to 10 people, and get 10 different answers in return. This only causes confusion, and doesn’t make for a very wise outcome. The wisest thing to do would be to go within and consult only our own heart and soul. If we believe in God, then this is also a very wise option to take. Since God has 100% wisdom, then He would be able to show what the right path would be (to take). If we’re in touch with our soul, we can always know what to do with every decision in life. I’ve seen many examples where a person was asked what to do, and that person did not have any wisdom at all (and gave very bad advice as to how to proceed). All this led to was an unjust outcome, because the person condemned actions by another that weren’t true. So, many disastrous results can occur by asking other people instead of asking God (and our own soul). We each have a different path in life, so another person couldn’t possibly know what is right for us. They have their own path to take, so what is right for them is not what is right for us. If someone has true wisdom, they will not depend on other people for important decisions in their lives. They will only go to the highest Source (who has all wisdom), and only follow that direction (to be sure that it’s the right one). Everyone is different, we’re not all ‘cookie cutter’ people that are carbon copies of each other. This is hard for a lot of people to accept, as many people expect others to be the exact same way that they are. If someone has tons of energy (and can do a lot of physical things all day) they expect you to do the exact same thing. This is not the way life is, however - we all have different energy levels and people should understand and respect that. Some people have more mental energy, and they spend a lot of time reading and studying. These people are also playing an important part to life on this planet. For example, they are the ones who (because of their constant studying and learning) come up with new ideas and inventions. So, they help the planet in many big ways as well. Therefore, people should not say that the only worthwhile person is the person who extends physical energy all day in their work. It is said that ‘thinking is the hardest work’. Many people don’t like to think and read and study. They like to just ‘go, go, go’ all day, and feel that this is the only way to be a worthwhile person in society. If other people didn’t take the time to think and study, then the world would be behind in many areas by now. Therefore, this is another area in life where people are judged wrongly. People may see that they spend a lot of time reading, and hold it against them (thinking that they’re not doing anything useful all day). When they see that these people become writers, inventors, philosophers, teachers, etc., etc., then they can see that their worth is just as valuable as someone who’s doing a physical job all day. It’s another example of people being wrongly judged for good
