"Each path is only one of a million paths.
Therefore, you must always keep in mind that
a path is only a path.
If you feel that you must now follow it,
you need not stay with it under any circumstances.
Any path is only a path.
There is not affront to yourself or others in dropping it
if that is what your heart tells you to do.
But your decision to keep on the path or leave it
must be free of fear or ambition.
I warn you: Look at every path closely and deliberately.
Try it as many times as you think necessary.
Then ask yourself and yourself alone one question.
It is this: Does this path have a heart?
All paths are the same. They lead nowhere.
They are all paths going through the brush or
into the brush or under the brush.
Does this path have a heart is the only question.
If it does, then the path is a good.
If it doesn't, it is of no use."
C. Castaneda
