Follow Your Path - from a Recipes for the Soul Card

This post comes from a "Recipes for the Soul" card, as a matter of fact

YOU WILL NEED:

• Perception
• Individuality
• Control

"You have to do your own growing no matter how tall your grandfather was." -- Abraham Lincoln

Have you ever looked at a family photo and discovered an uncanny resemblance to one of your relatives? Did you notice any differences too? Those moments of recognition remind us how connected we are to each other, but also how unique we are. It's important to cherish our common traits, but it's just as essential to achieve our own identity.

SIMPLE STEPS

• Treat an older relative to dinner. Ask about their life and interests growing up. You may learn valuable lessons from their experiences that will help you along the way.
• Parents are not to blame. When life doesn't turn out exactly as planned, we have a tendencey to blame our parents. Instead, look inside yourself for answers. What happens next is up to you.
