being true to oneself when faced with change

Whatever Path we choose in this life, we must always try to be true to ourselves.

It is interesting, I think almost every year I think about this. I think this is the essence of walking a Path, we must always look and watch our steps otherwise it will be easy to loose one's way. I am seeing another side of this too, there are many people out there who, usually with good intentions, try to teach/guide someone along a Path. This is the essence of any student/teacher relationship, and it is necessary to learning. But I think the trick is not to fight this during the teaching, but more about how we decide to truly integrate and use that teaching afterwards. But on the other hand, if the teaching is a completely wrong match, there is nothing wrong with realizing its a wrong direction early on.
Being true to oneself in the face of change and teaching is a difficult thing.
