• "All progress is gained through mistakes and their rectification. No good comes fully fashioned, out of God's hand, but has to be carved out through repeated experiments and repeated failures by ourselves. This is the law of individual growth. The same law controls social and political evolution also. The right to err, which means the freedom to try experiments, is the universal condition of all progress."
  
  -Mohandas Gandhi (1869-1948)
  
  Life is for living.  You get no where sitting on the fence undecided about which way to go or waiting for god to answer your prayers.  You must get off the fence and move.  It doesn't matter which way you step because each step leads to another.  There is no "One Way" but only "your Way."  Sounds like a Zen koan.  Actually it is the most difficult thing to realize is that there is no magic anything that will save you from yourself.  You must learn to walk your path of Life bravely and joyously.  You must be unafraid to make mistakes and willing to learn from those mistakes.  This is what life is all about.  Following your own inner guide from the beginning of life to your very last breath here on earth.  Live fully and consciously forgiving yourself for your mistakes and learning from them so that you can continue to move.  Namaste.
