Often times, I have seen people get confused about how to live their lives. Basically how to be in charge of their lives. They seem not to understand how other people run their lives successfully, because they have also tried to do that but they found it very hard to do. The logic is this, if anyone wants to paddle the boat of their life, they have to do it with their heart (intentionally).
Your heart is like the engine room of your life. You need to understand how it works before you can understand the message it passes across to
you.
However, I have to make it clear that you can achieve none of this if you don't give room for the one who created the heart for you. Invariably, you can only paddle the boat of your life with your heart (intentional living) if you understand that the one who made it, made it with specific guide and manual that you have to read and follow, so that you don't get lost while paddling.
Now sometimes, the guide comes randomly. It doesn't even look like what you have in mind or what you see yourself doing at all. But since you are paddling with your heart, and you understand how it works and the message or signal it sends to you, you just take it and change course. This is what it means to be in charge of your life.
The act of listening to every instruction sent to you through the manual from God's table and the ability to act on it even before sharing it with others. The act of living a spontaneous life, the ability to understand the signal of the guide leading towards certain path no matter how strange it is to you, and having the boldness to follow through.
The truth is, you cannot achieve this if you box yourself to a corner, if you are not open to new ideas and change. If you limit yourself to certain things, if you feel some things are just not for you.
People who know me well, can tell that i am unpredictable and spontaneous in a positive way. This is because i flow with my heart a lot. We might have a chat today about everything going on in my life, and the next day, i am onto another big thing that i didn't even know i would be doing at all not to talk of mentioning it to you when we had our discussion. That is what it means to flow with your heart.
If you flow with your heart always, you engage in constant meditation and it reveals more things to you, more ideas, more opportunities, and then, you just flow with it. Now i don't wait for approval from anyone once i get my instructions, I make up my mind instantly and map out ways of achieving them. If you are the type that bothers so much about what people would say, then you might have difficulty in being responsible for your life. It means that you allow what people say to paddle your life's boat for you. And that can't take you far because your heart is in you and not in other people.
How do you expect your heart to send signal to other people? or how does your heart communicate with your friends? they are not the carrier of your own heart, so it is not possible. They can't know you like you do.
Therefore, I challenge you to make a decision today to be in charge of your life. Be ready for change, be open to new ideas and innovations. Meditate, be a solution provider, help people, love life and live it intentionally
