Changing Direction
I move, as most of us do, in several directions at once. Often, those directions are all generally headed in the same direction, yet they take different paths. Yesterday it became clear to me that one of my paths was in a direction away from the direction I intended to head. So I stopped, said no, turned around, and walked the other way.
It was very easy to do. My choice was completely clear, focused, on target, and in line with my overall life goals and intentions. In the process I’m sure that I upset some people, ruffled some feathers, burnt the toast, and wound up looking bad. The choice to look good over following my soul – well, what would you do?
I can’t say that I’m totally at peace with my decision yet. In fact it will probably take me a few months to reset my system. Think of it as uninstalling a computer program but not fully getting it out of the registry, leaving a ghost in the system. In time I’ll find the right tool to do the full clean up – but for today, I took care of the big biggie.
So today I move on and will visit the top of the Sandia Mountains, Santa Fe, maybe Bandelier National Monument, and Los Alamos. I will think of my directions and paths while driving and acknowledge myself for choosing my direction, aligning my paths, and moving forward.
Of course I’m a life coach so I’m going to encourage you to think of some of the directions you’re headed in and determine which ones are really working and which are keeping you back. You don’t need to change it today – and maybe you never will; just be sure that you choose the path under your feet.
Very Truly Yours from The Land of Enchantment,
