This question is one that only a very old man asks. Does this path have a heart? All paths are the same: they lead nowhere. … Does this path have a heart? If it does, the path is good; if it doesn’t, it is of no use. Both paths lead nowhere; but one has a heart, the other doesn’t. One makes for a joyful journey; as long as you follow it, you are one with it. The other will make you curse your life. One makes you strong; the other weakens you.*
Carlos Casteneda

If your plan, your idea or your art doesn’t involve any significant hurdles in moving forward, it’s probably not worth that much. If it were easy, everyone would do it. The tactic is to seek a path where you see and understand the significant hurdles that kept others away. And then dance with them. They’re not a problem, they’re a feature.**
Seth Godin

Don’t believe your path with a heart will be easy,
Or pleasurable.
Significant,
Meaningful,
Transformational
will become more important.

May you know your heart
and understand it,
so that you may follow wherever it leads.
