Walking in the mist

You choose the path you are walking on.
You choose the next path you will take.
And the ones you took are behind you; some so far back you can barely see them anymore.
But so are the ones ahead, so far ahead you can barely see where they lead.
I feel I am forever walking in the mist.
I claim to lack a sense of direction while navigating my way around towns and cities; could this in fact be a reflection of my state of mind?

Sometimes life moves so fast that I find you don't get a chance to realise your surroundings.
Who walks beside you?
Is anyone walking beside you?
Or are you following? Are you leading?
Do you want to travel with the people you have chosen around you?
Do you choose to travel alone?
Or are you alone but wish you had someone travelling by your side?
What if you took a wrong turn?
What if the person you would most like to walk with and you took separate paths?
Will your paths meet again?
Where does your path end?
What is at the end of your path?
How are you choosing your paths?
Are you true to yourself? Your principles? Your beliefs?
And I guess most important of all if I was to remind myself that the most important moment is The Present,
Is the path you are on now, at this very moment, the one you want to be on?
If yes then, good choice, keep walking.
If no then,  stop and take a breath.
Step back.
Look ahead and go.
Go where you truly wanna go because you only get one chance to walk this path of life.
