There is guidance for each of us, and by lowly listening we shall hear the right word.
From Spiritual Laws from Essays, First Series by Ralph Waldo Emerson
Recently, I hear my own words coming back at me and I wonder if I am paying attention. When friends are struggling with a decision and it seems obvious to me that the choice has already been made. Indeed, it is in perfect alignment with my friend's aspiration - even though the friend doesn't know it yet. Fear often keeps folks from their own known happiness.
Next time, if someone says "Go for it!" and it is something I would have said in support of another's dream, I will listen.
