When choosing your traveling companions Dear One, whether it be those that will walk with you for a moment, a mile (or many) or a lifetime, remember this – No one can propel you forward and no one can hold you back, but you. So you can take that responsibility off of their shoulders.

You and you alone are responsible for the direction that your life is headed at any given moment.  So you can stop giving them all the credit, or all the blame for the direction you now find yourself moving.

Others can influence you, encourage you, assist you, teach you, inspire you, order you, belittle you, frighten you, attempt to weigh you down or manipulate you even, to you move in this direction or that direction – but the choice for which direction you choose to travel is ultimately yours and yours alone.

Always has been.  Always will be.

Are you thrilled or terrified by the thought of embracing this truth Dear One?
