You don't have to strain so, trying to get your revelations. The guidance, the inspiration, the awareness you need will come to you.
The way we're living now--from the heart--is much easier than the way we lived before. Sometimes it is so natural we might not understand what's happening. We may even be uncomfortable at first with how easy it is. We find ourselves straining to lift a heavy bowling ball, when what we have to pick up is only a Ping-Pong ball. Then we wonder why it feels so light. We may question whether there's something wrong because it feels so different. Just because your life feels lighter doesn't mean you're doing something wrong.
Your next step, the answer to the question you've been mulling about--the direction for the next stage of growth, where you will live next, what you need to do next about work, money, or that problem you've been struggling with--will come.
If you're fussing and straining, you may not hear it. Don't worry about getting all your answers or your agenda for the years ahead. That is not how this process works. In order to participate in this more magical way of life, trust that all you need to know will be revealed to you when it is time.
Relax. You're on a journey of discovery. Let life reveal itself to you.

The places in our personality where we tend to deviate from love are not our faults, but our wounds.
Marianne Williamson

AA Thought for the Day / We found that as soon as we were able to lay aside prejudice and express even a willingness to believe in a Power greater than ourselves, we commenced to get results, even though it was impossible for any of us to fully define or comprehend that Power, which is God. / AA, p. 46

" The choice to follow love through to its completion is the choice to seek completion within ourselves. The point at which we shut down on others is the point at which we shut down on life. We heal as we heal others, and we heal others by extending our perceptions past their weaknesses. Until we have seen someone’s darkness, we don’t really know who that person is. Until we have forgiven someone’s darkness, we don’t really know what love is. Forgiving others is the only way to forgive ourselves, and forgiveness is our greatest need. Running away from someone else’s darkness is a way of running away from our own, in the false belief that in running we can escape.
Marianne Williamson

As you learn about the transformations of adulthood, both the breakdowns and
breakthroughs, you will see for yourself that no one's process of growth or
change is like your own. As Walt Whitman wrote, "Not I, not anyone else, can
travel that road for you. You must travel it for yourself." Nevertheless,
the stories of those who have gone before you can serve as a guide. When you get lost on your journey, turn to their wisdom. But they can show you the
way inside yourself, where the voice most important to you lies.
Mark Gerzon

When put in the difficult position of comforting someone in emotional pain, sometimes what needs to be said can be said best with a soft touch or a listening ear. It may not seem like much, but it can be more effective than you may ever know.
Steve Goodier

Whatever the tasks that your soul has agreed to, whatever its contract with the Universe is, all of the experiences of your life serve to awaken within you the memory of that contract, and to prepare you to fulfill it.
Gary Zukav

Change and growth take place when a person has risked himself and dares to become involved with experimenting with his own life.
Herbert Otto

"Limitless like the ocean are your excellent qualities."
