You could live in a much less painful way, if you were those people, by not making dysfunctional decisions and choices. Yet they do. It's less about the actual choices and their being best or not and more about growing past your dysfunctions and attaining closer and closer communion with a higher self.
But if you give up your power to make those decisions and the potential mistakes or triumphs that come with them, to whom I have still not figured out, then you lose out on the best part of life:
growth.
ANY path can be THE path. But until you take the first step onto that path, you will never know if it's right or wrong.
Are you saying not to take any steps for fear they may be wrong?
I agree with triplelight's comments about the law of attraction being more about the soul than about getting "stuff" but I wholeheartedly resist any path that requires that I sit under the Bodhi tree and wait for life to get "just right" before I am somehow magically complete.
Experience (as in the verb.) It's the only way to
live.
