Roads

Walking is the only way to get somewhere. Action. There is no other way to accomplish a Journey if the steps are not taken.
There is another thing, we are the only ones responsible for what we do and where we get. No master can do that for us, or anybody else. There is no way to achieve something if the effort is not ours.

"The one thirsty should drink the water". No one can live your life for you. No one can evolve for you, do things in order to take you somewhere. We are born alone and the things happen around us, where we are.

No matter if we are home, or traveling around the world. It is that moment, that place where things are happening: in the present moment.

The only thing we can take with us... ourselves. Our thoughts, our wishes, and desires. And the actions have to be done by us.

If we procrastinate, it is our responsibility, if we act, it is our responsibility. It is what we do that makes us what we are.

So it may take a day or lifetimes, but it is only up to each individual. Systems, religion, philosophies, techniques, masters, books, can only inspire us, give us hints, or keys to unlock the things that are hidden in plain sight, inside ourselves. They are and have always been there.

So it is a combination of everything, studying, learning, reading, talking to people, practicing, experiencing, but most important trusting and acting.

And maybe, in the end, we realize that things are so simple, and it is in the simplicity that is the secret of existence, an endless state of balance.
