Every day we are given signs

Every day we are given signs about where we want to be with our lives. Every day we are answered as to what to do next and where to be next. Every day something happens to let us know who is with us and who is not. Yet we choose to ignore these signs when they aren’t what we think we want. When we are afraid of making tough decisions. When we are worried about what others may say or think. Ignoring the voice, the voice that comes from deep within.

We are given clues all the time about what we are really feeling. Truly feeling from deep, deep within. Clues that bubble to the surface, float in front of us and sometimes smack us right in the face because we refused to listen. Refused to take heed. Leaving us wandering in the wilderness. Fumbling in the dark. Looking over our shoulders waiting for the moment we are in to be snatched away from us because we know it is not us. Never ours for the taking.

Every day there is something that nudges us. Pushes us to the place we are meant to be. Whispers to us from deep within instructions about what to do next. But sometimes we think we aren’t ready or do not have the tools to proceed.  But if we were to look back over our lives whenever we have been brave enough, trusted enough, had faith enough, doors have opened that we didn’t know even existed. Opportunities came that we thought were for the lucky ones. Not for people like us.

Until we realize there is no such thing as luck. Life is all about the choices we make, the people we surround ourselves with, the settings we choose to live and work in. Life is a reflection of who we are and where we are in our growth process. It is not about what anyone else is doing or has. It is all about what feels good for us and what gets us up in the morning. The gratitude we feel. The love we feel. The joy we feel. Because all of these feelings come for us. Our inner most selves. Our reservoir.

When we are feeling lost and afraid, we are being asked by life to stop, to sit, to contemplate, to really listen to the voice within because it is asking us to surrender to it. Asking us to listen to it. Asking us to accept what it is telling us because it is our master compass. Our chief navigator. Our light in the dark.

Only then can we accept, every day we are given signs, clues, answers to the questions, to the life, to the way we seek. Every day but we have to be willing to listen, to take heed and to do what we are being instructed to do particularly when we are afraid. Particularly when nothing makes sense. Particularly when the road seems rocky and without end.

Our lives, wherever we find ourselves, are reflections of who we are and where we are at the present moment. We attract who we are and reject who we are not. Simple but difficult at the same time.  The best way to live the lives we want is to listen, really listen to the voice within and the only way we can do that is to give ourselves permission to be with ourselves, truly with ourselves. Because every day we are given signs about where we want to be with our lives. Every day we are answered about what to do next and where to be next. It's just up to us to listen, to surrender, to take heed. Because no one can give us the life we want except us. No one but us.
