Do you have a desire to make a change in your life or follow a dream, but for whatever reason, you feel obliged to stay on your current path?
Sometimes, we find ourselves pursuing an education, or staying in a career or relationship, or following some other goal that no longer fits who we have become.
Perhaps your
parents told you that you should pursue a particular career, so you did, but it isn’t fulfilling and you long to do something else. Maybe you are in a marriage where you feel manipulated, abused or unappreciated.
We can be so entrenched in a promise or a need to please others, that we are blind to our true desires or
what is really happening around us. No one wants to look back on their life and realize they gave their life away to a thankless job or ungrateful or abusive life partner.
We all change. The world is constantly changing. Why then, wouldn’t our goals and desires change too? I believe that the best desires we have, come directly in the form of an inner knowing. That voice is benevolent and peaceful. I
call it God. Others might call it Higher Power or the Universe or some other name that represents their belief about a power outside of ourselves. Whatever you call it, it is a healing voice that can only be heard with your heart, soul, body and mind.
God is not that voice in your head that tells you that you must suffer and live in a state of lack, so you
can fulfill some obligation that no longer makes sense to you. That voice is an impostor.
I am not suggesting that you shirk responsibilities, but there is a very good chance, that there is a way to be responsible, and pursue your dreams at the same time. I am suggesting that you become more intune with the quiet voice inside of you and
pay less attention to the clamour of the voices coming from family, friends and society.
If you have a desire to pursue a dream or make a change, those ideas are likely to be in alignment with whatever is in your highest good. If you are feeling trapped by a goal that no longer lights you up inside, that just might be God tapping you on the
shoulder and pointing you in a new direction.
Is there a soft voice encouraging you to take a different path, pursue a different dream or pay more attention to your own self-care? I encourage you to take one small step toward that path, dream, or self-care routine and see where it leads you.
I would love to support you on your path. My contact info can be found below.
With Loving Support,
Linda
