Having a Golden Path means you have a reason for living, a purpose for being alive which transcends the frailties of the human body. It is about finding your soul and showing it to the world. It is the epitomy of the human spirit put into action. The Golden Path isn't necessary for survival, but it makes your life so much better and enhances health, happiness and longevity. It is a practical application of ancient Taoist principles that facilitates self-discovery and fulfillment.

Everyone's path is different. Don't judge what paths others take or the way you get to yours. There are many lessons along the route. What is important is getting to where you are supposed to go, not where you think you should. One of the most important principles on the path is that "the winds of change can't move you unless you are already moving." This means that standing still and wondering may be important for a while, but is is better to be doing the wrong thing so you can realize it and change direction than to do nothing at all. You may not get the life you fantasize about, but you will get the life you are supposed to live.

You don't have to save the world or leave big monuments to be on your Golden Path. Everyone's life purpose is different. Some people are meant to live big, grand lives - others work quietly and subtly. Some people's Golden Path is all that they do. Others do it some of the time with a job that pays the bill the rest of the time. Some people's Golden Path is a hobby they can't stop doing because they love it, but making a living at it might take away their joy.

Getting on your path requires you to take a risk. This is a calculated risk, because you have been preparing for it all your life so far. You have been in training for this leap of faith in yourself.

Deep inside, everyone knows why they are here. It's time for you to find out.
