Each Path Up is Different

Each path down is the same.

Each path up is different, while each path down is the same.

A new acquaintance shared her running story with me recently. Her entry to and experience becoming a runner is very different than mine.

Totally different, as a matter of fact.

It serves as a reminder that our path to success and living our Ikigai will not be like anyone else's...and that's okay.

Remember that while the path up is different for each of us, the path down is the same.

The path back down to a job that doesn't value you or honor your unique skills, work that is life-taking rather than life-giving, and the disintegrated life outside of Ikigai.

That path is the same for everyone.

It may feel more comfortable than the path up, but it is still the path down.

Keep going up.
