Urbanista Lesson No.6: Instinctual Paths..

Follow your Instinctive Paths... They are directing you to good places..

When at times you don’t know where to go, but there is clearer and greener direct path to take, just take it because how will you know if that is indeed a brighter and better path ahead of you if you wouldn’t risk?. Just go with your gut instinct and take that first step, as long as it feels right and chances are, your decision is right… that’s what we call an Instinctual Path…

Every one of us needs a failure or a misguided path. This is the only chance we can easily discern the next situation that will arrive on our doorsteps. Signs would be everywhere. This will serve as your “instinctual guides” and cues on what lies ahead. Tracing this signs and signals will help you decipher and identify if you would still continue to this path or you might need to take a detour. Everything you’ve put through from the past doesn’t matter now, especially if you’re still holding to that pain, guilt or you're “if only” because the only thing which is more important now is the fight to still hold on and the courage to face that unexplored path… but don’t leave the lessons behind, they are certainly for keeps!

Also, that “instinctual thought” lead me to walk around my city today. It feels satisfying to just walk and walk and follow my “Instinctual feet” through paths that unfortunately leads me to my most remarkable and memorable and paths and places that consistently reminding me that I’m still ALIVE! And yes, I’m indeed still alive!
Along with a path or a walkway, a direction will always be present. This indicates that there is
a certain place that it will, unfortunately, leads to. Direction can either be straight, curvilinear, circular or might be a dead end. Certainly, a walkway that is restricted, discontinued, narrow and untidy is not encouraging to walk on, right? But, wouldn’t be a path that has green, wider and clean elements surround it will be inviting to walk on? A sense of feeling “safe” is really inviting and comfortable to walk on.

The feeling of security and safety will prompt you to a good path. It will also have signs and lighting elements especially at night time, so you wouldn’t have that scared feeling of being lost. If you choose to follow the direction of that path, it will, unfortunately, lead to a certain destination, an intersection or a landmark.

Now, if all walkways in the world are like this, would you be encouraged to walk?...
