The human potential movement can be compared to a wheel with many spokes, each leading to the center. Each spoke is a path, karmically matched to the person looking for the center. How do you find the path that's right for you? Assuming, that is, that all the spokes lead to the center and no spoke is weaker than the others. One weak spoke is as big a waste as a seeker on the wrong path.
And that's the beauty of life; many paths lead to the same destination. The trick is to find yours. And you know what? The search is part of the process. So don't rush it and don't think you have to do it before your fifteenth birthday because there's plenty of time.
Time to master life skills like problem solving, decision making, and self-reliance. And mature interpersonal relationships, especially with the spouse or partner. It's a long, tiring journey from the rim to the center; you need all the life skills you can muster.
Nevertheless, not all paths are for you. Some are, especially the one that is yours. But some are not. In fact, you may be better off not taking any path than taking the wrong one. In the final reckoning, it's not questions and answers or intellectual analysis that will guide you but your heart — that little voice inside you. The one thing about that little voice — the more reliable you are, the better the voice will serve you. And that means life skills mastery: knowing right from wrong, listening to your body, treating others as you would be treated.
The Center must hold, but a Wheel is only as strong as its Spokes. You will find your path, if you can find your Center.
