Recently I’ve been grappling with some major decisions about what to do professionally going forward. There are a number of roads that I can take, as there generally are for all of us. I’ve been looking for every possible reason to find an answer outside myself.
I’ve considered what people want from me. I’ve considered what’s the path of least resistance. I’ve considered what would be the most immediately lucrative. But what I didn’t ask myself until recently is what I really want.
This is the question we need to answer at any given time, and then we need to trust that what we’re feeling pulled to do is what’s actually right for us. We need to believe that we know the best course, even if we don’t yet know the way, and then give ourselves permission to take it.
If you also need to make a major decision, take a little time today to peel away the layers of what you think you should do. Let go of everything that’s suffocating what you know inside to be true. And then allow yourself to access it, without fears or judgments.
Simply sit with what you know. Then take that into the world and follow it. Miraculous things can happen when we decide to trust ourselves.
