8 billion paths

There are eight billion people on this planet, which means there are at least eight billion ways to get from Point A (birth) to Point B (death). You are only meant to experience one of them, the one you are taking.

While you cannot experience more than one of them, there is a way to guarantee you don’t experience any of them: to try to make your path look like someone else’s or to want someone else’s path to look like yours. The only way you can fully live your life is to devote your energy to sensing and celebrating your way through all of your ups and downs, successes and failures, and allow others to do so.

Your path has never been walked and will never be walked again. What if you chose to be present with each step so you don’t miss it?
