AS YOU START TO WALK ON THE WAY, THE WAY APPEARS – RUMI
When walking a new path, words to yourself may sound like, “I’m not sure what this road entails, but I feel I need it.” or “I feel lost, and I’m not sure where to go or what to do next.” Take a breath. I speak from personal experience and working with others when I say that most people have these thoughts of fear, uncertainty, and need when taking steps on the paths less traveled.
It takes a lot of courage to begin on a route you know will encourage deep healing and awakening your true self. This healing thing can feel confusing and terrifying when you overthink it. I’ve learned from my healing work and seeing my clients that things begin to make sense once you start walking on the path. How funny is that? Our very first step is trusting and listening to ourselves.
Most of our lives consist of planning and preparedness so we understand what we’re getting into. However, the Universe, yourself, the Gods, or whatever belief you have tells you the opposite. It is time to trust your current gut feeling telling you, “It is time.” You may not know what that is, but you know that it means action – any kind of action. You know you need to move and take one step in front of the other.
My friend, I know it is scary thinking about your first step. That step is not only the beginning of change but also the beginning of growth, truth, and understanding. Trust that as you continue to move, things will come to fruition. Keep walking even when there is darkness. You must do the very thing you are afraid of – therein lies the growth.
