One night I had a dream…Mother Theresa was standing in front of a dark path and she just looked at me, almost studying me. I knew that I had a decision to make as to whether or not I wanted to take a journey alone on a road never before traveled, or remain where I was standing…on the same road, leading to the same results. Since the path was dark, I couldn’t see where it would lead me, but I knew that if she was standing at the entrance, then I would not be alone. I chose to walk the path that would lead me down the unknown, and I knew I would be led by faith, and although I would be walking this journey alone, I felt comfort in the knowing that I was not alone. On this journey, I learned to discover my fears, my passions, and my ability to discern truth from fear. Although I still believe I am on the road, I have learned to tune out the chaos of the world around me and tune into the sound of my own inner voice and the voice of God. Suddenly I realized that I had allowed the sounds of chaos to replace the sounds of silence, which led me to the path of self-discovery and self-fulfillment. When you learn to stand alone, you realize the truth in your ability to honor yourself and discover your path to joy. Take a moment to stop running the race through life, and look for the path that is waiting for you to begin your own journey.
