Michi (A Way)
Today, I learned to think of a common word in a new way. It is the word MICHI. In Japanese, it means street. A mere thoroughfare, but it is only that?
It is a process; It is a direction
It’s a journey, if you please.
It’s not a goal; It’s not a wish.
It’s a seeking; not an expecting
It’s a commitment
It’s a philosophy.
Personal and different from you and me.
It’s a way; My way
It’s a way; Your way
It’s my path; Your path
Waking up early and doing the work.
It’s finding it when it really matters
It requires deep thought
Self-reflection
Raw Honesty
Truth; Not the lies we tell ourselves
Michi is a journey to discovery
It’s a path to finding fulfillment
Most of all purpose and passion (my favorite).
Be Aware and Be Bold;
Be Contemplative and Be daring
Be encouraging of oneself as one would a friend
Be fearless, focused
And Fly FREE.
BE that person you pretend to be!
