CAREFULLY OBSERVE WHAT WAY YOUR HEART DRAWS YOU, AND THEN CHOOSE THAT WAY WITH ALL YOUR STRENGTH
(hassidic saying)
We hear a lot these days about following our bliss. I am wondering if that is easier said than really done? How much listening does it take to observe where our hearts draw us? Do we get too busy to listen? Do we even know how to listen to our hearts and spend most of our time listening to our brains? Do we spend way to much time in our heads, questioning everything and everyone? How could we even start to learn this? We do not receive much skill-training in our families and schools for this behavior. Imagine this if you will. PICK THIS OPTION....FOLLOW YOUR HEARTS 101, there will be no grade except for the one you give yourself. In fact, we find ourselves being much clearer about what we should do, what others want us to do, and what we have to do, than we are about where our hearts are leading us.
If we should find ourselves deficient in the heart-leading area, we can still learn it, anytime. We just have to start with some baby steps before we leap to what our hearts want us to do with our lives. Always start with small questions. Questions like .......what do I feel like wearing, what colors look good on my skin, what is my favorite thing to eat, what style do I wish to keep my home, what type of books do I enjoy reading, what movies and music do I enjoy?
All these decisions would be based on what is in your heart. Not what is in style or even the norm or latest fashion or trend. Just purely what is in your heart.
Go ahead, flex those muscles, how does this feel? Awesome, I would say. It really is just a question of breaking old habits. Now that you have gotten the hang of it, you can move forward with more pointed questions to yourself. Whom do I really want to spend my time with? Who are the people who feed my soul? Then, only then, we might be ready to move on to bigger and better things. Whom do I love and cherish? Whom do I honour?
What lifestyle do I really feel is best for me? Your career choice and how you wish to spend your day and your time. Where do I want to live and how? It is after all your life and a new life.
Once you really get the hang of this, there is actually no stopping you. You feel great and on top of the world, no matter what is thrown your way.
This song best suits this wonderful approach to life.
IT IS TIME TO SOAR
