So for now I am going to share something someone close to me shared recently. I am keeping it anonymous. I do share it though because it reminded me of myself and some of the very same questions I have asked along the way. So it was like a look in the mirror. I realized even more than I already believed that in my personal and my professional life part of who I am is not only navigating my own journey but helping others navigate their journey as well. That is meaningful work…Here are those words exactly as shared with me.

“I am trying to think about what is going to work best for me in my life right now, this very moment. What do I want? What truly matters? And why do I care about doing what is right or expected of me?? And . . . I also feel like I need to get away-mentally, everything. Not because my life is bad or anything is really wrong but because I need clarification. Yeah, I need to clarify some things!! I think that is it. I am just thinking . . . am I getting the most out of my life or am I thinking/worrying too much about how to get the most out of my life????? I think I need to do what works for now, not for two years ago or two years from now, but now. I guess this is all very abstract . . . . . ..

There are always very contradicting messages about what is important in life, what you should have or do, blah blah blah. . . . and overall I know these things. Maybe we think too much???”

If  you have felt this very same thing also – welcome to your awareness of the journey. By the way, you might want to read Power of Now by Eckhardt Tolle.
