The road I must walk

    There comes a time upon your journey through life when you realise that the journey is indeed yours and nobody else’s; that no one else can tread your path - only you can; that you have all the resources, are fully equipped to seek out and to find your way. And though others may walk with you, they cannot live your adventures. And the only guidance and assistance that they can give is to remind you that you have the means and the end. We guide ourselves; we teach ourselves; we relearn what we have forgotten. All these things we must necessarily do ourselves, for life is in the living and who better to live your life than you?
