You must always keep in mind that a path is only a path.

Does This Path Have a Heart?

Each path is only one of a million paths.
Therefore, you must always keep in mind that a path is only a
path.
If you feel that you must now follow it, you need not stay with it
under any circumstances.
Any path is only a path.
There is no affront to oneself or others in dropping it if that is what
your heart tells you to do. But your decision to keep on the path
must be free of fear or ambition.
I warn you: look at every path closely and deliberately.
Try it as many times as you think necessary. Then ask yourself
and yourself alone one question. It is this: Does this path have a
heart?
All paths are the same. They lead nowhere.
There are paths going through the brush or into the brush or
under the brush.
Does this path have a heart is the only question.
If it does, then the path is good.
If doesn’t, it is of no use.

Don Juan
