Life As We Know It

Life is a journey on many roads less travelled. We have picked up habits from many different resources such as,parents, families, friends , co workers, social media, mentors and books to name a few. We travel from one path to another,experiencing many emotions such as happiness sadness, finding our soul mate, marriage , graduation, becoming parents, grandparents, loss of a love one, divorce, buying a home to mention a few.

We have tried to please our teachers, parents , professors,bosses, children, siblings, spouses and the list goes on. Some have also tried to stand their heads in order to please others.

Today I want to share my own experience so far in the journey of life. I have had some very rough sailing and at times it felt like I was constantly in the survival mode ,or better said "I was waiting for the other shoe to fall off". Life was throwing me one challenge after another. During this rough period in my life I found myself reaching out to anyone who would give me advice. As a matter of fact as I was facing numerous head winds I would gravitate to anyone who appeared to give me their advice as to " what I should do , or how I should live my life" and of course I would follow that.

After what seemed like a long rough ride, bumping into rough seas of life, getting bruised,scraping my knees, swimming against the waves,and trying to get back on the journey again when something clicked. I sat down quietly and allowed myself to reflect on my life. I felt a calling for a change. The voice in my head said " let it go , let it be , listen to your inner being, follow your inner guidance, you have all the resources,all you have to do is to listen to yourself, not to others,live life under your own terms, no one is the navigator of your path except you, stand in your own power."

At first I was not sure what any of this meant , but I allowed my guidance system to show me the way as all I wanted was to see light at the end of the tunnel. I wanted to experience life to the fullest.

I stood tall and confident, and little by little I began to let go of thoughts and things that no longer mattered.I began to trust my journey and things shifted.I noticed several changes happened within a very short period of time .I had finally found myself and was amazed at how rapidly momemtum took over and I was floating down stream, enjoying the view and living.I promised myself not to look back as I was not headed that way.I let of of the oars and noticed that the joy was in down stream.

I rowed my boat gently down the stream and knew that all is well.

My new journey became more serene, joyful, abundant, successful with numerous adventures.I have found my happiness from within. I very grateful for this awakening and I now follow my own path which is unchartered. I am a trail blazer and I love it.
