Surely, you are doing what you want to be doing; you have, after all, made life choices that are absolutely of your choosing.
Or have you?
Sometimes, the choices you think you have made have been influenced partially or completely by others, or experiences, without you realising, and you have supplemented your preferences with ones that have been unintentionally or intentionally imposed on you.
This isn’t just about what you do, career, study, or work-wise; it is about being you in every way you want to be and being true to yourself in all you undertake.
Convention, culture, society, family, friends, circumstances, and even your ancestors all affect the decisions you make, minute by minute, day by day, year after year. There’s nothing wrong with that if, and this is a big IF, they are not limiting you and curtailing potential you would otherwise explore and enjoy.
When you limit your choices, you block energy and create varying obstacles to optimal happiness and well-being. You may not feel dissatisfied or unhappy with your life, but you are not wholly satisfied and filled with joy either.
This is not something to mull over and over; your mind will take off on a merry trail back and forth, making little or no headway as it ever circles round on itself, leaving you more confused than you started!
It is intuition that will provide you with the insight and inspiration you need. Ask the question from within when you are still and have space, both figuratively and physically. Be patient and trust that a response will be forthcoming. Repeat this regularly and, in the process, build an ongoing intuitive dialogue that will prove most beneficial and informative; as if from nowhere, you will receive guidance and gain an increasingly lucid understanding of who you are, what to do and where to go, all in your best interest; synchronicity and momentum will take care of the how.
It sounds odd, and it'll feel odd to start, but all of a sudden, things will begin to magically unfold. Try it, and you'll see!
... Transformation is a practice in self-discovery; a deeper understanding of what is leads to increased perspective and insight. The deeper you dive, the more you come to know, and the more liberated your soul. Dive in below for inspiring self-exploration, accompanied by a sprinkling of amusement to uplift your spirit…
