Visualize what?

When good is near you, when you have life in yourself, it is not by any known or accustomed way; you shall not discern the foot-prints of any other; you shall not see the face of man; you shall not hear any name;—— the way, the thought, the good, shall be wholly strange and new. - Ralph Waldo Emerson
Can you remember a moment in your life when you had life in yourself and it was wholly strange and new? Can you remember the moment when you stopped walking a path of someone else, and started cutting your own?
Write about that moment. And if you haven’t experienced it yet, let the miracle play out in your mind’s eye and write about that moment in your future.

I've always tried to follow my own path, but at the same time I'm always looking to others for their opinions, even when I've made up my own mind. I never follow my own path. At least it doesn't feel like it much. Its hard for me because I do have issues, I'm trying to take care of them. It is getting a ton easier though. I don't know what following my own path would look like because I can't. I'm also taking new meds so they've kind of slowed me down a little bit. Oh life.
