Follow the Yellow Brick Road

Usually, the best way to find the yellow brick road of your life is to start out on the dusty, dirt one. Follow the yellow brick road is an attempt to follow a course of action that you believe will lead to good things. We all want to believe that we are all on our own yellow brick road. 

In the movie, the "Wizard of Oz" Dorothy is told by the Munchkins that in order for her to get her wish, she has to get help. Dorothy then sets off with her goal in mind. The lyrics of the song gives the audience what she has in mind. She is off to see the wizard 

the wonderful wizard of oz, you'll find he is the wizard of  wiz  if ever a wiz there was,

If ever or ever a wizard that was
the wizard of oz is one because, because, because, because, because, because, because of the wonderful things he does,
you're off to see the wizard the wonderful wizard of Oz

Unlike Dorothy, we do not have a wizard waiting for us that will grant our wishes. It would nice but it would take away from the magic we create ourselves. As we start out on our own path, we become preoccupied in making the best of it, having fun, and challenging ourselves that we actually stop paying attention to the path. This is unlike Dorothy who has to keep her eye on the path to make it to the Emerald City so she can meet the wizard.

As we travel our path one day with a new best friend, wearing cool clothes, feeling awesome, a teeny tiny bit taller, fresh from a WOW vacation, looking for the path you just left, you'll notice that it's 24 carats.

And you'll wonder for a long, long time, sipping on some exotic fruit drink, when the transformation actually took place
