At some point in their lives many people reach a stage where they wish to focus on more than just their day-to-day tasks, family, social life, etc. We may yearn for a truth, feel called to follow a particular path or feel a longing to find our true vocation. These may be brought to our attention through intuitions, dreams, symptoms of ill health, chance meetings or other signs.
Sometimes choices must be made which necessitate passing through adversity and, whilst it may seem easier to turn a blind eye and continue with the daily grind, by doing this we sacrifice our soul, and ultimately our health. By always being discerning and trusting what feels right for you, you can be sure to follow your truth and not that of someone else. Our lives are a precious gift and we may be fooling ourselves if we squander them under the guise of not rocking the boat. By going inside and listening to our truth, we can clear away the stuck energy of negative experiences from the past, travelling our soul’s path and becoming more mature and responsible. We can learn how to create our own life experiences, instead of being a vicitim of them.
“The soul would much rather fail at its own life than succeed at someone else’s.” (David Whyte)
