You have walked your path and though you suffered slings and arrows, you are untimely strong and in a better place for having realized you were walking the wrong way. Such realization is rare among the NPCs because they're that justified in their dogmatic beliefs they believe they do not need to think if they're doing the right thing. As for your next path, that is up for you to decide. You've found a second chance, now all you need to do is follow the virtues such as self-Temperence and Humility and let them guide your way.
