The Chosen Path
We live in a growingly chaotic and noisy world where it is easy to lose your way. You might be feeling frustration, unease, restlessness or a growing level of anxiety that is made worse by what you encounter and experience day in and day out.
Have hope! Happiness, purpose is somewhere nearby. You just need to rediscover and grab onto the thread that leads you to it. It's there, I promise you.
When you do this, you might be surprised to discover that you begin to travel through your life in a different direction. For some, the shift is only slight. For others, it is an entirely new and a profound change. Regardless, you will find greater happiness, purpose and peace.
Remember that in life, you control only one thing-your ability to choose.
Chosen Path Media was established from a series of personal and traumatic experiences. These experiences led to a catastrophic hit and run cycling accident that flat-lined The Chosen Path's founder and left him in a Level One Trauma Center ICU. Several short months later, he had defied the odds and achieved a dramatic recovery, all signs of the trauma and injuries miraculously gone.
This series of successive events were not a random calamity. Rather, it was the universe simply helping to change his understanding, path and direction. Sometimes we are going the wrong way and doing the wrong things without knowing it.
Our purpose at The Chosen Path is to help you find your true way and change direction while avoiding any further pain and hardship you find in your status quo.
The Chosen Path
Doubt is a clingy, nasty little liar. So why do we keep it around?
Fear is an ancient emotion designed to keep us alive. It’s like rumble strips on the side of the road. Fear says PAY ATTENTION! Fear isn’t designed bio-chemically to stick around for long, it wakes us out of our stupor and then splits.
Anxiety on the other hand was designed by Mother Nature to keep us vigilant.
But today, our Dopamine factory is stuck in the ‘on’ mode and when you combine it with doubt, all the other negative emotions our lives are awash in, anxiety has a new purpose, it amplifies doubt and when that grows strong enough, it can re-ignite fear, it becomes a giant feedback loop.
Uncertainty really means you have a choice. Options. Uncertainty means you are still in the game. The answer or outcome isn’t yet defined. We don’t like uncertainty.
Still, on the other side of fear and uncertainty is strength, belief in one's true and authentic self and most importantly...freedom.
Doubt doesn't want you to walk through that gate.
Doubt is a liar. The other two do not pretend to be anything but what they are. But doubt will be whatever you tell it to be.
Your future isn’t pre-destined. You can choose whatever actions or direction you want, you just don’t know…or more correctly, you just don’t believe you can choose. Doubt tells you not to believe.
You don’t know what is going to happen because you haven’t co-authored it yet!
If I knew I could never have recovered fully from my accident, why even try? If I knew there was no hope recovering from ‘The Pit of Despair’, after failing, everything falling apart, then why try? Why not accept my lot in life? Why get up and re-invent myself, landing in a new reality filled with freedom and opportunity? Without uncertainty NONE of is possible!
Doubt is often the fuel source for Regret.
