Sometimes so much confusion reigns as to what to do, how to get ahead in life, and follow through. There are so many demands expected of us, day to day, and priorities are lost as we struggle to cope with the hectic pace which has somehow gained a life all of its own.
And then, when one turns to others or looks for help, one is confronted with so many options and opinions different, that one is apt to set aside such thoughts and soldier on.
And if, by some chance, one stumbles across a path which appeals, there are grave concerns about such decisions made because one is asked to turn one’s life upside down, and this may well be painful to contemplate. Better just to soldier on again and forget one’s worries, block out the call to one’s destined fate.
But the only way out of this trap is to let go and be bold, to take to life with a sense of adventure and the free spirit of a child. Initially this is a fearsome thought, but once the decision has been made, an excitement is born that is uncontainable, and all at once change is possible. Then the project takes on new life and snowballs of its own accord.
One is then on a ride of tremendous experience and growth. Everything is new, and nothing can get in the way of all that needs to be accomplished. And, for awhile at least, there is no plan; this is, of itself, of course the plan, but later new interests are developed, new friends are made, new places inhabited, and one day all that represents the sum total of your life has changed to better reflect your true self, and the path you are destined to take to be the all you came to be this life.
