Forge Your Own Path

As she walks by

I decipher the words

on her T-shirt:

“Follow your Arrow,

Wherever you Are”.

Set your compass

by your values

giving meaning

to your path.

Set your direction

by your life purpose

and goals,

prioritise what’s important.

Have a big picture view

with perspective,

and accept wherever

you are as a starting

point for a new adventure,

overcoming obstacles,

forging a character

with inner strength

and calm acceptance

of what is –

an enduring soul
