In preparing for this ceremony," Kai said, setting the bouquet on the mantel behind him, "I did some research and learned that the word Alpha has held many meanings across history. Alpha can refer to the first of something," said Kai, "or the beginning of everything. It can be attributed to a particularly powerful or charismatic person, or it can signify the dominant leader in a pack of animals, most notably, of course, wolves." His serious expression tweaked briefly into a teasing smile. "It has meanings in chemistry, physics, and even astronomy, where it describes the brightest star in a constellation. But it seems clear that Ze’ev and Scarlet have created their own definition for the word, and their relationship has given this word a new meaning for all of us. Being an Alpha means that you’ll stand against all adversity to be with your mate. It means accepting each other, both for your strengths and your flaws. It means forging your own path to happiness and to love.

But it was a road I hadn’t built, and I’m convinced you can’t ever be completely happy walking on someone else’s road. Someone else’s path. The way to true happiness is to forge your own, even if your road isn’t straight. Even if there are bridges to build and mountains to tunnel through. Nothing feels as good as paving your own way.

But, my wolf, compassion is often mistaken for weakness when the fact is, there is very little that is more powerful than the courage it takes to give it. The one thing I know that’s even more powerful is the courage it takes to forge your own path, make your own mark and in doing so, make change.

You hold the collective story of all women in your body. The muscle memory of generations past. This is your legacy, but it is not a prediction of your reality or your future. The difference is both delicate and profound and worth exploring. Pull in the wisdom of generations upon generations of witches and wild women and pioneers and mothers and lovers and midwives and subversives. And then forge your own path. The way only you can. You were born for this.

That is the way of the Fates. You must forge your own path for it to mean anything.

You have to forge your own path for it to really matter...

You’re above coincidences. You make your own choices, forge your own path. Everything that happens, happens for a specific reason. Destiny be damned.

It means forging your own path to happiness and to love.

Yes! Being a bitch is the one true strength of womanhood. The ability to give no fucks about what other people think and forge your own path in the face of doubt. A bitch has to get shit done. So put your bitch face on, and let’s go do this,” Amira said, bumping Sophie’s hip with her own.

Then again, rich kids have always tried to forge their own path, stymied by a lack of drive and comfort levels that make hard work seem unnecessary. Some become club promoters. Some weed-smoking artists. Why not a frog dealer?

Egypt, like so many places trying to forge a path on the other side of colonialism, was a country in which the future had been exiled, governed by people who provided for the vast majority of their citizens no plausible avenue of progress from one’s current state to something better. Under foreign and then local rule, the central directive never changed: Know your place. It’s a frequent, nauseating political inheritance: come to experience the world under the reign of someone who thinks of you as subhuman, as undeserving of a future, and an ugly impression is settled that true power is the ability to do the same to someone else. The foreigners had departed; there was no one left to do it to but our own.

You forged your own path. You listened to no one and thought you knew best. In the end, your hands were covered in the blood of the one you were entrusted to protect.” The nymph’s icy breath was as cold as his words. “You continue on this path, history will repeat itself, and there will be no salvation for you. There will only be an eternity of retribution and vengeance.

We faced a choice then,’ Haut went on. ‘To resume our onward journey, or to turn round, to discover the blessing that is walking back the way we came. In our standing in one place, we argued for centuries, until finally, in our mutual and well-deserved disgust, we each chose our own paths.’ ‘And so ended your civilization.’ ‘It was never much of one to begin with. But then, few are.

Make no mistake, Elphaba, Goddess Magick was potent in the old days. During the Dark Ages the Catholic Church had their hands full fighting it. Unfortunately, in large measure the Church won that war, relegating Wicca, Druidism and the rest to the fringes of society. With vastly weakened power.” “Except yours, Nick.” “I’ve always been a special case, Elphaba,” Nick explained. “Even though I began my career as an alchemist, I soon turned away from that practice and forged my own path. I uncovered my own secrets and kept them secret. That’s how I was able to maintain my power for so long.

Be courageous to forge your own path, but teach yourself to be patient first because you will fail along the way.

Be courageous to forge your own path, but teach yourself patience first because you will fail along the way.

Several years ago, I attended the bat mitzvah of my best friend's daughter. During the ceremony, the rabbi emphasized that 'the central lesson' for the girl to learn was that she was 'always being watched and judged.' He told her that God always knew what she was doing, every choice, every action, and even every thought, no matter how private. 'You are never alone,' he said, which meant that she should always adhere to God's will. The rabbi's point was clear: if you can never evade the watchful eyes of a supreme authority, there is no choice but to follow the dictates that the authority imposes. You cannot even consider forging your own path beyond those rules: if you believe you are always being watched and judged, you are not really a free individual.

Only you hold the key to unlock your full potential. Don't wait for others to open the door. Embrace your unique journey and forge your own path.

Observe the masters and adopt their strategies. Forge your own path with a unique approach.

Here’s my advice to you, for what it’s worth. Don’t give your heart too easily, but don’t be too scared to give it at all. Don’t feel you have to marry the first person you love. Do take good care choosing your friends, and be loyal to them, and work at those relationships too. No one ever tells you about the work a friendship takes. If you are able to, and you want to, have children. You have been my greatest joy, and I want you to know that kind of happiness and pride. Choose your career carefully; I hope you’ll do it for a long time. Think about what you’re good at, and what you love doing, and forge a path that incorporates both of those things. Stick with anything you enjoy and are good at, whether it’s a sport or a musical instrument or a hobby or a school subject. I thought only school subjects were important, but I was wrong. It’s good to have a wide range of skills, to be great at all kinds of things. You never know where one of those things might take you. Take your health seriously; understand your own importance. Check your breasts, go for your smear tests, get things you’re not sure about checked out. Don’t sit out in the sun all day long, even if you rarely burn. When you are young, it doesn’t seem like anything will catch you out. But I’m the proof that things can. Your body is worth looking after. I won’t tell you not to drink or smoke or take drugs; I know it’s unrealistic to expect you to be sensible enough to avoid those things. And perhaps you shouldn’t. Perhaps you have to push things to the edge to understand where the edges are and come back from them. Take care of your mind, too. You’ve got a lot to deal with as a child, having lost your mother. Take time to grieve and talk to someone if you feel lost. It’s

When you forge your own path, people will naturally judge you for that. Let them.

It is years of soul work in the trenches of daily trial and error. But we're not building a house in two weeks. We're laying the foundation for a fortress that will withstand the harshest winds and the fiercest storms. We are building an estate of love that will serve as a safe haven for years to come.

While fate may present opportunities for the ambitious, it is ultimately the resourceful and adaptable prince who can bend fortune to his will. Do not rely solely on chance or the goodwill of others; rather, seize the initiative and forge your own path to greatness.

Water is present to its circumstances and surroundings and therefore ready to move in any direction that allows it passage. That openness and pliability means it is in a constant state of readiness, but a natural readiness because it is simply being wholly itself. To be like water, then, is to realize your most whole, natural, and actualized self where you are living as much as possible in the slipstream of life as you forge your own path forward.

Eventually... You shed the cloak of expectation, realizing most people are passersby on their own journeys. Like ships in the vast ocean, they share a glimpse of your sail before disappearing over the horizon. It's a humbling truth, but ultimately liberating. You are free to focus your energy on steering your own course, forging connections with those whose paths truly converge with yours.

Being a bitch is the one true strength of womanhood. The ability to give no fucks about what other people think and forge your own path in the face of doubt. A bitch has to get shit done. So put your bitch face on, and let’s go do this,

Dream it, forge your own path to it. Greatness has never taken more than two steps.

Beggars can’t be choosers.’ Miriam gave me a long look. ‘I always took umbrage with that phrase. Just because you don’t have many options doesn’t mean you can’t be empowered to choose for yourself or be allowed to maintain your morals and beliefs in the face of adversity. You can be backed into a corner and still forge your own path. It might be more difficult, but there is always another way.

The magic of this life isn’t found in the hustle and bustle of constant activity but in the intentional, ordinary decisions of our days.

charts, yada yada. I hated this stuff, and the thought of trying to embrace it and make a living at it was anathema. So I decided that I’d go with my natural inclinations and oppose it. And a contrarian was born.

It’s scary when you enter the real world. It’s like turning off the highway in the middle of nowhere. Maybe there’s another road, or a dirt road, or nothing at all. But it’s up to you to forge your own path. You can ask for advice, but ultimately, it’s your road. And the good thing about this road is that it can go in any direction you want. You can turn left, turn right, turn around, get off the road completely onto another dirt road. All that freedom is scary, frankly. But eventually, you’ll look in the rearview mirror and marvel at this amazing journey you built from nothing. Enjoy the journey. Enjoy the confusion. Enjoy making mistakes. That’s how the best roads are built.

For God’s sake, you are as bad as Louisa.” Joseph took his gaze from Harrison’s fancy town coach—and what was a mere portraitist doing with such a rig?—and surveyed Moreland’s features. “I beg your pardon?” “Your affianced wife, Louisa. She’s incorrigible. The girl has loving family on every hand, every hand, and yet she must make her own way. Has always had to forge her own path and I suspect she’s met her match in you, so to speak.” The duke was trying to communicate something, while Joseph was trying to make out the crest on Harrison’s coach. “Your presence here is still not well advised, Your Grace. Hanging felonies will likely be committed.” Moreland thwacked a riding crop against gleaming field boots. “Listen to me, young man: You have no father, no brothers, no uncles, not even a damned third cousin to see you through this. If a prospective papa-by-marriage is all you’ve got, then by God, that’s what you’ll take.” There was something heartening and familiar in the way Moreland delivered a scold. Warmth, unexpected and welcome, bloomed in Joseph’s chest. “Your Grace, may I say first, thank you, and second, you are as bad as Louisa yourself.” “Where do you think she came by it? One wonders what you’ll have to say to Arthur if he ever bestirs his bones to leave his carriage.” The

Access the energy of your youth and combine it with the wisdom and insights you've gained to forge your own path.

If you believe that success is inevitable, you’re less likely to work your tail off in order to achieve it. Hard problems are definitely immune to the power of belief. Simply deciding that you’ll solve something doesn’t solve it. The best problem-solvers I know hold in their head a kind of contradiction. They simultaneously hold two beliefs: They have the skills needed to solve the problem, and they fear that this might be their moment of failure if they are not vigilant. They have the confidence to dive right in and get their hands dirty, to jump into unfamiliar situations, to explore processes or science that’s brand new to them. And along with it, they know that there is no path to success laid out for them that they can follow. They must forge their own way, and they are wary of getting lost. They hate the thought of failure, and they know it’s a real possibility.

Of course, my fundamentals may not work for everyone. A beautiful aspect of the human race is our endless variety. Like maple leaves and snowflakes, there are no two of us alike. Therefore, while my tactics involving the cultivation of lush facial hair and the consumption of pork products, as well as those derived from beef, may not be exactly the steps of the path you might tread on your own way to “delicious living,” perhaps my techniques will at least inspire you to forge your own discipline, providing you with the necessary skills to blaze your own trail.

The rabbi’s point was clear: if you can never evade the watchful eyes of a supreme authority, there is no choice but to follow the dictates that authority imposes. You cannot even consider forging your own path beyond those rules: if you believe you are always being watched and judged, you are not really a free individual. All oppressive authorities—political, religious, societal, parental—rely on this vital truth, using it as a principal tool to enforce orthodoxies, compel adherence, and quash dissent.

You should never just do something because it's what others expect of you. You have to go out there, find your own voice and forge your own path. It's too easy to walk through the tunnel that's already been dug.

Self-love is extremely important. Love yourself enough to be unique; forge your own path. Stand out if you must!

If we do something we hate, dislike, or simply feel apathetic about, all five days of our week will be stressful, unhappy or, in the best case, mediocre.   Is

The best and the worst thing about being a parent is watching your child forge his own path.

Finding your way forward when you can’t seem to get your footing is one of the most fulfilling challenges in life because it pushes you to find the path that makes the most sense for you. When you think you’ve run out of places to turn, and you seem to hit a dead end, turn it into a fork in the road and forge your own path into the unknown.

It was a golden-paved path that stretched out before me, a road of privilege and entitlement. But it was a road I hadn’t built, and I’m convinced you can’t ever be completely happy walking on someone else’s road. Someone else’s path. The way to true happiness is to forge your own, even if your road isn’t straight. Even if there are bridges to build and mountains to tunnel through. Nothing feels as good as paving your own way.

You Can Do It. Forge forth and conquer. Build. Cultivate. You were given the ability to choose your path in life--and you were born into the freest civilization in the history of mankind. Make the most of it. You are not a victim. In a free society, you are responsible for your actions. Your successes are your accomplishments, but they are also the legacy of those who came before you and those who stand with you; your failures are purely your own. Look to your own house before blaming the society that bore you. And if society is acting to violate individual rights, it is your job to change it. You are a human being, made in the image of God, bound to the earth but with a soul that dreams of the eternal. There is no greater risk and no greater opportunity than that.

If anything can be said of our homes, may it be that they are safe places for our children. Places where they can be encouraged in their gifts and comforted in their struggles. Places where they can share their fears and express their sorrows. Places where they can be heard and known and taken seriously. We create a safe haven for our family because children thrive when they feel safe, but also because this is love.

Envy is hard to manage, as it’s a socially unacceptable emotion, even though it’s something most people feel. Envy also takes the focus off your work, your business, and your customers. When we give in to envious feelings, the best we can hope for is second best, since we’re focused on copying someone else’s path and not forging our own.

The only way to win a rigged game, my darling, is to refuse to play. Then forge your own path. Rely on those who love you, those you love and trust yourself, and then muddle through.

The magic of this life isn't found in the hustle and bustle of constant activity but in the intentional, ordinary decisions of our days.

We sacrifice their childhood on the altar of preparing them for adulthood. But what if childhood was the preparation? What if having a whole childhood was the key to a healthy adulthood?

Listen to your inner voice. March to your own symphony. Forge your own path.

Before we can connect with our kids, we have to calm them, which looks different for each child. Connection isn’t possible when our kids are upset or in the middle of an emotional cycle they can’t escape.

The word “genius” means “giving birth to one’s joy.” In other words, our children are geniuses at what brings them the most joy.

When life gives you an opportunity, you have to give it your all and then some. You must fight and struggle to forge your own path.

Begin with a decision. Decide that from this moment you will change your life. So far, external events and the impact of the environment influenced your everyday life. Everything that has happened to you today, in this moment, is the result of your previous decisions and thoughts. From now on you will take charge of your life. Control what you can, and control your reaction about things you can’t control. What do you like to do? What can you do right now? What do you need? Answer these questions. When you answer only two questions similarly, you face a situation that requires attention. Think about how can you change to give the same answer to all the three questions. When all the three match it means you found something that adds immediate value to your life. If you promise yourself something, make sure to fulfill it. The greatest disappointment you can feel is when you lose credibility in your own eyes. When a promise is made but isn’t kept, it creates a sense of emptiness, a sense of unfinished business. The worst case is when you don’t keep a promise you made for yourself. It is important to stay credible in your own eyes. Better start with smaller promises. Today I will walk home instead of taking the bus. Or, this weekend I’ll have a picnic instead of watching TV. Then work up to the bigger ones like, I’m going to learn to play the violin. Remember to build up credibility, take responsibility, and keep promises to yourself. If you keep your own promises you cultivate self-respect. Self-respect generates self-love. If you love yourself, you’ll love your innate abilities. If you love them, you’ll love using them. If you love using them, doors will open even in the thickest walls. This is what I call a positive circle. Opening new doors requires new skills. You cannot make a difference in your life relying only on your past. Be opened to new things. Be persistent and do not give up. Vow that you will not give up until you achieve your goal, what you were born to do! The length or difficulty of the road ahead can make a lot of people stop before they even cross the start line. Set off and take the first step. Divide the distance into manageable stages. Do a little bit more than you’re comfortable with. Undertake a little bit more and keep your commitments. Only in this way is it possible to begin to develop a new habit that will make you stronger. Believe in yourself. Believe that you can do it. When you begin to make a living from your hobby, people will tell you things like, “you’ll die of hunger.

It can be beneficial sometimes to create in relative isolation like a musician if you have faith in your idea but you know it will take a while for others to come around. In fact, when you’re forging a new path, sometime feedback is actually dangerous.

Instead of going around and around, focus on creating and trusting the path you have forged for yourself.

Be Your Own Teacher by Sami Abouzid No one ever teaches you anything truly valuable in this life. No one shows you the path to brilliance. Most people will doubt you, mock you, attack your light just to feel brighter themselves. On the road to your dreams, you’ll walk alone more than you’ll walk beside anyone. But that’s the beauty of it. Most of the wisest minds in history didn’t learn through lessons— they discovered truth in the chaos, through mistakes, accidents, and raw hunger. I created 672 soundtracks and 300 electronic symphonies—alone. No one taught me how to write, compose, mix, or master. I was my own teacher. I respected the process, trusted myself, and gave myself the time to become. And now? I do what I want, when I want— with power, purpose, and freedom. Never wait for someone to hand you greatness. It’s not given. It’s earned, built in silence, forged in fire, and born from the belief that you don’t need permission. Be your own guide. Be your own light. Be your own legend. — Sami Abouzid

Yequn is the Watcher who led astray the Watchers, bringing them down to the dry ground (earth) and inspired them to join with human women. Yequn inspires spiritual liberation by the path of rebellion, having the courage to forge your own path by the way of the unknown. The name of Yikon has origins with the Hebrew word for “Idol” and “Image”, representing the use of cult statuary and symbols in Magickial ceremony. As one of the ring-leaders of the rebel angels, Yequn is the inspired and determined Watcher whose spiritual linage exists within Luciferian Adepts today. Yequn holds the symbolism of the Infernal Union of the Immortal Spirit bearing the Black Flame and Earthly Flesh which is the initiation of the Luciferian Witch creating the self newly pulsing with Witch Blood. The Hebrew spelling is from “The Rebel” and “He Will Rise”םוּקָי.

You’ve been chasing ghosts down the same worn path, feet pounding rhythms of a song long dead. But the soil is barren here— no fruit grows from the roots you planted in yesterday’s dust. You’ve become your own cage. Bars forged from fears you once called armor now rust and bleed into the veins of your dreams. Each step is tethered to the weight of who you were, but that old skin no longer fits your bones. Look down. Your shadow clings like a desperate lover begging you to stay.

Your traditions restrict you, weaken and slow your mind. What you hold as “good” I reject as a conceit and false pride. Only in achievement can pride be kept to a whisper. The profane and small minded always announce their might. I tear the throat out of those speaking of traditions weak, Faiths which open the prison of the Right. Let us feed upon the carrion of those we crush under cloven hoof. Knowledge with experience is the path of the Adversary. To oppose those who claim, “Our traditions are Right”. We are of the Lie, the word of Drauga, our shapes everchanging. The shadow we cast is the predator which stalks the ignorant, Striking with the Forbidden Knowledge and Patterns of Power. Our forms are not of Pride, they are merely clothing to be cast off. My essence is of Blackened Fire, a single torch between my Two-Horns. Pride is enhanced with boundaries. Upon this Path, you must forge your own Spirit into Daemon, That Skill so taught by Cain and Azazel, the Sorceries of Lilith Shall shape the desires into the living flesh. If you build a temple of strict traditions, even by majority thought, we will burn it and trample even doctrines I gave as knowledge. Trespass all boundaries and seize with noble right. That World of Flesh, Beauty and Horror in blazing passion of Becoming. In this World of Time and restrictive belief, I will shatter the lesser to create Disorder. Chaos and the Abyss are that from which All is Created Anew. AZOTHOZ!

know, but I also know that everyone needs support. That’s my job—to support her.” “Actually, that’s not your job, honey,” Tippy said. Daphne made a face. “You know I’m right. If you make the way smooth, she’ll never learn how to navigate the rocks and potholes. You can’t fix the world for Ellery any more than your mother could have fixed it for you. We all learn to live with what life hands us, and if we’re brave enough, we learn how to fight what the world gives us and forge our own paths.

When we respond badly in turn, we only widen the chasm even more, confirming their worst fears: that they aren’t loved, safe, accepted, or understood. By sending our children away, we tell them they don’t belong. By addressing only their outward behavior, we ignore their hearts. By shouting at them, we cause their bodies and brains to go into fight-or-flight mode. Their cortisol levels rise, making it even more difficult for them to respond in the way we desire. To be a parent is to be part nurturer, part negotiator. If we’re not careful, the tactics we use to “solve the problem” can make the situation more frustrating or even confusing.

Children have enough authorities in their lives. That’s all most adults are to them. Kids don’t need parents who are skilled in correcting them. They need parents who are willing to connect with them.

Being a true leader, whether as a parent or as an entrepreneur, means accepting that failure is an essential part of growth. It means having the patience to let people stumble, knowing that those moments of difficulty will plant the seeds of maturity. It means realizing that your job isn’t to eliminate problems, but to teach others how to face them. And in the end, a leader’s success isn’t measured just by tangible results, but by what they leave behind: stronger people, more aware and ready to forge their own path with confidence and determination.

Satanism demands of you nothing but truth. It does not seek your submission — only your authenticity. It does not offer salvation — only the tools to forge your own destiny.

There are no easy answers, in life or in art. You're not following anyone's path now, you're forging your own. No doubt, you will find it both lonely and scary. But no one ever said having a Genius would be easy.

So all I ask of you, Jake, is to keep doing exactly what you already are. Keep telling destiny how much of a little bitch it is, and reach for power that was never fated to be yours. Because fuck fate, fuck destiny. The path you forge is your own, and don’t ever let anyone tell you otherwise.
