What will happen next in your life is very self-evident. It is very easy to see what the path you are walking will equal in the long run. The thing is, most people never take the time to study and be honest enough with themselves to realize how, as the old saying goes, the writing is on the wall.
 
Most people live in a delusional illusion about how what they are doing is not only affecting their own life but the life of all those they interact with. People want to believe what they want to believe, and they want to believe that what they are doing will cause them become the person they wish to become. The problem is, there is more than a fine life between belief and reality, between dreams and actualization.
 
There is a certain reality experienced in all people’s lives that when they are young. That reality is, the world is out there for them to grab. There is time and with that time there is still time for them to live their dreamed of existence. For some, if they walk a path that will truly lead them towards living that reality, if they learn the skillset that it will take them to achieve that reality, if they pay the price, (whatever that price may be), and do what it is they must do, then they may actually ascend to reach their dreams. The fact of the fact is, however, even if someone pushes the buttons on all of those components, the dreamed of existence is only achieved by a very few. And, the most important element in all of this is, the bigger the dream, the harder it is to achieve. Thus, many/most are left with a life lived with less.
 
There are some who do walk their way up the ladder. But, in this becomes one of the biggest complications of all life complications. How did they get there? How many lives did they hurt in their ascent? And, what did they do with any achievements they achieved? Did they use it to hurt, or did they use it to help?
 
Again, returning to the component of youth, in youth, in association with achievement, many a person views their life via the framework that whatever success they achieve will continue and it will rise up from there. But, all anyone has to do is to view the life of someone who did rise to success, but did so on the backs of others, hurting while they ascended, and via time it becomes very clear that they fall/that they eventually fail. The example(s) of this are legion. Yet, so few people ever even consider this fact. And yes, it is a fact.
 
What you really need to think about as you pass through your life, and as you strive to reach your desired level of success, is what are you doing, what overall, wide spanning implications does it hold, and who are you affecting as you do what you do? The path in front of you is always defined by the karma you create as you walk it—from your very small actions, to your very large ones.
 
Right now, take a moment, wherever you find yourself in your life, and define, what has the life path you have chosen revealed? As you walked your path, right now, forget about what you learned along the way, but truly focus on where you have ended up. In retrospect, if you simply would have watched the signs, was it not clear when you began your travels where you would ultimately have ended up? Would it not have been more clear if you simply would have honestly taken the time to study the path, study yourself as you walked the path, and studied the direction that path was leading you? Could your end result not have been easily predicted?
 
The fact of life is, if you have no desires, achieving them is very-very easy. For any desire you hold, however, there will be a price. Complications arises when you are not the only one paying that price, but when you involve others in your assentation.
 
The writing is on the wall, but are you willing to read what it has to say? Right now, where is what you are doing leading you? Be truly honest with yourself, where is what you are doing leading you and how is what you are doing affecting others?
