Today many people have different things that they go through in life and they must choose what to do. I feel as if this applies to a lot of people without them realizing it. With this, we can conclude that we must realize all of our options and not to panic, even though it may be difficult. Remember that if you are feeling like you are on the rocky road now, the smooth path is only a few steps away. Here are are some quotes to take into consideration when feeling overwhelmed:

1. “No one saves us but ourselves. No one can and no one may. We ourselves must walk the path.” -Buddha

Throughout life there are difficulties we are all going to face. We must learn that we have to take things in consideration for ourselves because our happiness matters most. With this, walking our own path will make us stronger and able to face our fears.

2. “There are plenty of difficult obstacles in your path. Don't allow yourself to become one of them.” -Ralph Marston

Obstacles in life can consist of any mixture or any form. We must learn that by overcoming these obstacles we are more positive about life and about looking at the positives in life. We must note that we are all important in our own special way. We all have great things to add to this world, and growing older and learning from mistakes can only make this statement have its true value.

3. “The world’s a wood, in which all lose their way, though by a different path goes astray.” –Villiers, George, 2nd Duke of Buckingham

In this place called life, we all have these moments where it feels as if everything is going to fail. It seems like the end of the world, but it is not. We must learn how to search for the hidden path that is waiting for us all. The one that holds all of our positives and that is filled with sunshine.

To summarize, all of these quotes have something in common, and that is that we all have to do things for ourselves. We all have our own path and yes, it will take time to find a smooth path, but for right now we must look at what we have right in front of us. Life is a gift and each day we have to be grateful for everything that shines our way. Our path is waiting for us, it is only a few steps away, so do not fret, just breathe.
