Coach Jeremy

To explain what I am quoting -- after hiking ho chi minh, James, Adam, Brynne, and I got boba. I picked up a newspaper on one of the tables and read a column called the weekly message from "Coach Jeremy". I checked out his website when I got home and subscribed to his weekly messages. They all contain valuable and sage advice, but this one in particular seems applicable to the crossroads many of us are at in our lives.

When embarking upon a new path in life—whether it be a new profession, a fresh relationship, or any journey into the unknown—do not make haste. This is a sure way to miss the Truth of any warnings or obstacles, and certainly the way to elude the beauty of a new learning experience. Instead, revel in the mystery, enjoy the sense of the unknown. For soon, very likely, you will uncover the answers you seek and discover much of what there is to know about this particular Path; and perhaps then you will pine for the lost beauty of the mystery, the sense that indeed anything is possible. There will be many opportunities in life to practice this mindful movement. So, begin now! Tread slowly along the Path. Make no judgments upon yourself or the experience as you do so. Simply be aware of this amazing opportunity to learn and to live with infinite possibilities. This way, you will experience every Wisdom more thoroughly and enjoy every moment more fully.
