When choosing a travel companion Dear One, whether it someone who will walk with you for a moment, a mile or a lifetime, remember this – no one has the ability to propel you forward or hold you back but you.

You and you alone are responsible for the speed, distance and direction that you travel.

Others can influence you, encourage you, teach you, inspire you, build you up or knock your down, or attempt to manipulate you to move this way or that way – but in the end it is you who decides where you put one front down in front of the other.

Who you choose to travel with matters Dear One, just not as much as you may think.
