Dear friends,
There are times in life when the path forward is uncertain, unclear, and ultimately unknown. It's scary when our predictable patterns get interrupted, like what's happened over the last two years of covid hysteria. In times like this, it is easy to become paralyzed by fear. What is a person to do?
How do we know if we're on the right path? How do we know for sure that any given path is the best path forward? The short answer is that we must trust. We must move with faith, following an intuitive trusting heart, as I like to say. There is a guiding force that moves within us, through us, that surrounds us, compels us, inspires us, that protects us, prods us, and presents a path less taken.
The proverbial fork in the road often arrives when we least expect it. There are defining moments in life when unforeseen events bring us face to face with an unexpected choice. We must choose wisely, we must navigation these decisions with conviction and honor the whispers of our heart.
These are the times when the spirit within us rises up, our hearts glow, and we go boldly into in the wild unknown. These are the times we take uncomfortable action, when the mind squirms with discomfort, when insecurities seek to sabotage, when courage may falter and our life may collapse into the comfort of what's familiar, what's safe, and what feels certain or sure.
These are the moments that we must dig deep, that we must determine for ourselves what kind of life we want to live, and muster the inner strength to bravely step onto the road less traveled. Only by doing so, can we release ourselves from the shackles of fear and mediocrity.
