Choosing the right path in life is a daunting undertaking. Now more than ever, many of us a world where it feels like the walls are closing in, and life as we know it is susceptible to increasingly frequent bouts of instability. Thanks, Coronavirus. Trying to identify that right path can be tough when it feels like the mind is cluttered with numerous competing thoughts about what the right path even looks like.
Going at it alone, and trying to establish what your “right path” looks like is doable, but we wouldn’t advise it. Sometimes, leaning on someone else, and especially a mental health professional who is trained in the art of making sense out of our scattered brains to carve some kind of path is the most painless way to go.

Consider Religion
Maybe after some drawn-out introspection, or due to tough life circumstances, you’ll find yourself interested in considering a path that involves practicing religion, and donning pastors robes. Who knows? Life is full of surprises. It could be a situation where you just wake up one day and feel you need to honor a newfound purpose that’s centered on spreading the word of God.
Maybe you want to do what you can to help cultivate a love for spirituality in other folks that’d just as much thrown in the towel, in terms of having faith and optimism for tomorrow, when the present picture of the world can look so grim, so often. If that ends up being what you think is the right path for you, all the power to you.
The ultimate reality is that there’s no proven way to choose the right path for the rest of one’s life. Everything, everything as we know it is susceptible to change. That includes our thoughts about what will bring us the most happiness and leave us feeling fulfilled. The most important thing in mapping out the path that one wants to walk down as they experience this beautiful strange gift we call existence is to remain open-minded as the road unfolds. On top of keeping an open-minded outlook on life, it also serves all of us well to keep the faith on some level.
To trust that no matter how grim a life situation might seem, it too shall pass. And with a little optimism, it’s remarkable to note how much easier it can be to weather life’s series of unanticipated storms. It’s a given that nothing stays smooth and freed from the ills of drama, for long. Life does after all love to be difficult. We’ve just got to have a little faith that those difficulties will give way under the weight of passing time eventually.
