TECH TIP OF THE WEEK
Words of Wisdom
True morality consists not in following the beaten track, but in finding the true path for ourselves, and fearlessly following it.
~ Mahatma Gandhi
Our lives don't come with a map indicating which path to take at each specific point in our lives. Wouldn't that be great? Yet we must constantly make choices that determine where we go. Finding the right path requires seeking, determination, and courage. And still, we aren't always certain of the right path, the wrong path, or a crucial fork in the road. Try not to overthink to the point of paralyzing yourself, nor simply follow the safe and beaten track. Instead, go where you feel called. Take small, fearless steps till you discover your own virtuous path even if it's the narrowest of all.
With something to think about . . .
Remember to take care of yourself.
Stop and consider the direction in which your life is going. Ask yourself if you are being true to the virtues you hold most dear. If not, it may be time for explore another path.
Happy Birthday!
