Could it be that the search for a path for my life is actually blinding me to the the very thing I am looking for? Is it possible to miss a vast part of our life experiences because we are constantly looking ahead (or trapped by the past)?
I seem to have gotten it into my head that I must choose what it is I want to do with my life, primarily at this point regarding a career path. But what about today - I have not stopped living, waiting for my real life to miraculously appear. Life is present tense, not future. Yet I am failing to fully appreciate the moment, to savor life as it unfolds. I am getting the sneaky suspicion that I cannot find the path because I am looking away from myself (and looking to hard) to find it - kinda like looking for my hat when its already on my head.

But it is the journey that matters in the end."
