Big Path, Little Path

I've got lots of big plans for the future. Places to be, things to do, people to connect with.

Yet, I'm pretty clueless about exactly where those places will be, what I'll be doing, and with who.

The way I see it, we have the general direction we are trying to move in: The Big Path. That's the one that encompasses our values, aspirations, passions, etc. It's the rather vague, but brilliantly glowing light of our future. All the details are fuzzy, but we know where it is.

We align ourselves towards the vast and curious Big Path.

Then there's the Little Path. These are the specific footsteps you take along the process. The places you'll go, people you'll connect with, and unique experiences that will shape your unfolding. The Little Path exists in the Now and you really won't know what it looks like until you're on it.

We get to release control of the Little Path, unburden ourselves with the details and allow Grace to draw our trail as we walk it. When we really, truly trust Grace, we can rest assured that we are still within the Big Path, even if the circumstances along the way look gloomy.

What a relief, right?

Maintain your compass to align you towards the Big Path and then release control over the details.

It may be even more amazing than you imagined.
