☼ ►• Here is a quote I’m posting today by a life coach I love Jennifer Louden:
Every time you abdicate choice – look for the right way, scramble for the formula, wait for the seal of approval, or deny what you know you want – you turn away from your art and your life’s deep purpose.Choosing is your art. Tie yourself to the mast of what is calling you. It truly does not matter if you have turned away so many times your neck is almost broken by regret.Throw open your arms and welcome the consequences of choosing. Humble yourself in service to what asks to be born through you
- While this is an ad for one of her retreats, it truly says a lot. When we are deciding what we need to do…it is my strong feeling, we need to see what is also speaking to us…that we have forgotten…a choice. What are we forgetting that we somewhere down the line have decided (chose) can wait some more…isn’t as important as all of the important and urgent areas that get all of the time and attention.
