This moment is the convergence, the culmination of every decision you’ve ever made. Your whole life intersects right here, right now. It’s the important moment of your life. You have brought you here, and nothing you’ve done has ever been by accident. There are no accidents. There are no mistakes, not in the grander scheme. It’s all been chosen by you, for you, and for everyone else as well.

You have come here to learn something, or rather, to remind yourself of something: of who and what you really are. Every choice you make, and every choice you don’t make, brings you once step closer to this realization. And every moment, you choose. And every choice is a choice for something, and a choice against something else.

The consequences of your decision, made in this moment, aren’t grave, for in the end, the outcome is assured. You’ll remember who and what you really are.

Don’t regret. Don’t despair. Leave no room within you for remorse. There are no mistakes. In the game you play, the outcome’s assured. In the long journey on which you’ve embarked, your destination, chosen long before the voyage was undertaken, is written in a map on the palm of your hand.

Although no one can trek the path for you, you never walk alone. Though the path may grow dark, there is a light by which you travel.  Though it may turn steep and rocky, something within guides, step by step, if you listen.

Always knows that the path unfolds from within. You are the path you trod. You are the summit toward which you climb. The mountaintop is the one to which you return after your long journey. All choice is this, and only this. You are your own destiny.
