I’ve been getting a lot of signs lately. Signs that tell me I’m going in the right direction and signs that have been telling me I need to go on a different path.
Yesterday, for example, I was feeling down and out and doubting my dreams as a writer. Then, I turned on the TV to Oprah and saw that the theme was, “Don’t Stop Believing” based on the song by Journey. I also had personal question that was answered when I watched, “The View.”
But I also got more negative signs. Part of my problem has been, for example, not creating contracts with my clients. After going through it two times in a row, I finally got it-doh! I need to start taking responsibility for the life that I am creating. And part of that is having the courage to ask for what I need.
I began wondering how many of us go through our days with signs coming at us left and right, but fail to hear them, because of fear. Fear of what others will think of us. Fear of asking and not getting what we need. Or even fear of what we will do when we get everything we ask for.
Part of following our dreams requires strength, courage and action. We cannot sit around idly waiting for them to come true. We need to take the steps necessary to fulfill them. Listen to the signs you get externally and internally to know what to do next.
I truly believe that life is magical, that dreams can come true. But part of that journey is walking that line between who we were and who we want to be. Part of that path is about taking a deep breath, trusting our instincts and then making a decision to follow the life of our dreams.
