Finding the Path

You are the driver and the navigator.

Doing as others told me, I was blind.

Coming when others called me, I was lost.

Then I left everyone, including myself.

Then I found everyone, including myself.

Rumi

In the face of a challenging decision, you may feel paralyzed and not know what to do. It might be fear that keeps you from finding your way, or stress may block your ability to seek higher guidance. You may doubt your own ability and question the wisdom of your restless mind.

Rumi comes with a message for you to guard against others trying to influence you. By staying centered in your heart, you can align with your deeper essence. This can be a magical moment to take a step toward creating the life that is right for you. The heart seeks solutions through love and opens the mystery of divine perception. You learn to trust a wisdom that is already yours. If you turn to your rational mind, you will be relying on a resource of limited vision.

Dear one, your deeper instincts are often the right ones. You can rise above your doubts and uncertainty by learning to trust your heart. It is wise not to become too attached to the outcome. Make a choice and stand by it. Taking a risk is part of life and a part of the human condition. Accept the consequences and know you have the ability to face them. The important thing is not to betray your commitment to your own growth and sense of well-being.

Mantra

I am honoring and affirming my life by making a serious commitment to be the best person I can be. I will trust my heart to guide me in making my decisions.
