Different Paths

We all must walk different paths in life. There are many reasons for this.

For one thing, we all start in different places, thus the directions we follow to get where we're going will need to be different, at least at the start.

For another thing, people have different capabilities. A person who is driving might have a different route than a person who is riding a bike. A person who takes buses and trains will have a different route than a person who travels on foot.

Some people have different destinations in mind. If you're going to the local library, then your path will differ greatly from someone who's going to the grocery store.

And people have different preferences. Some people would take the fastest route, while others might prefer a more scenic route.

Some people may want or need to make stops along the way, and they may make different stops, even than those who are. for the most part, on the same path.

Every person on Earth is walking a different path than every other person on Earth. Even those who try to follow the same path as others will find that they need to make different detours than those of the people they're following. Meanwhile, other people are on different paths altogether.

When navigating our paths in life, it's impossible to follow anyone else's footprints exactly. Rather, it's best to learn how to navigate for ourselves, to learn how to determine where we want to go and what path we need to follow to get there. We all need to learn how to be our own pathfinders, because, whether we want to be or not, we are all on different paths.
