Recognizing the indicators that are really important to your chosen path in your life is a course of frequent stumbling while wearing a set of self-described blinders. If you really think about that statement it does say a lot!

I've always found it interesting how easy it is to quarterback our footsteps while looking backwards instead of while also gazing forward into our futures. Oh yes we all have our own particular plans laid out for your lives, we all try to assert our individual independence from those controlling factors of the world that none of us want to admit really are there influencing their surreal tentacles into our spirits. The reality is that whether or not we adopt a true vision about how we are influenced by the world and the people around us, we also allow ourselves to be navigated along various turns and shifts along our path due to our own lacking perspectives of the true individuations of our souls!

Lets face it, we all allow ourselves to be convinced at various points and times along our way to alter paths, to change some way we would rather function, and to adopt ways of being if even on a limited basis to the ways we would rather lives our lives. It's called flexibility in kinder circles and in not so kinder language, it's sometimes called allowing ourselves to be duped into decisions and life changes that we would otherwise not touch with a ten foot pole!

Now that all of that has been said, the brighter side of all of this is that it is just as common to all other people in the world because you know what? Everybody at some time in their lives reaches that day, that hour, or that single situation when they make a clear and conscious decision to begin to honor their own true natures more than they ever did in their collective pasts.

Most of the fabric of these very dynamic living ebbs and tides are just that, dynamic as all hell like roller coasters winding around their tracks at great speeds.

When we reach that point in our lives however when we train our spirits more to our own true selves instead of meeting the needs and the wants of so many others around us, we have reached a certain nirvana that can best be referred to as learning to better love ourselves!

None of this means that we begin to cast blind eyes and careless spirits to our fellow, our loved ones, and to the world that we call ours! Quite the opposite by the way!

You see, when people begin to train their spirited minds to the finest and to the best of all that they are and to all that they truly wish to be in their lives, this is when they can also best serve others around them!

Think about that for a moment...

Can you recall those days and times when you worked at a job that you really hated, when you found yourself doing some lengthy task or having to alter yourself in ways you well knew you didn't want to?

We all have! It's in the chemistry of living life in our world!

This is also however when someone's effectiveness falls short of their true potentiality!

This is when someone's creative drive becomes dimmed to a candle flicker instead of their creative potential bursting forth like rays of the sun!

When you begin to live in line with the path and begin to meet the ends of your true living creative potential in your life is also when you will align yourself with the best and the greatest of all powers that you could ever have at your fingertips!

This is when you begin to better align yourself with YOU!

It doesn't matter what this path is, who it serves, what it creates, or how it unfolds!

Usually however we aren't talking about destructiveness in any of this, let's be sensible.

Some people go their entire lives being at least moderately miserable with themselves because they never allow themselves to begin to live in line with their true chosen paths! There are always choices, there are always moments when you can begin to re-align yourself! There are never any real excuses that can entirely convince you on an intimate level that you are forever forced to live the way and to do the things that you do if these all go against the greatest of indicators that are within you!

Only you can define this, though also understand, with many people they're the only ones not defining this to themselves loudly enough!

Of course you, we, and everyone has various degrees of responsibility to self and loved one's that must be met. Nobody is suggesting that these should all be shirked in lieu of a disappearance of your former self. The thing is however that such a quality discussion about the true fabric of your own responsibility to yourself should go right along with your responsibility with those others in your life.

Have a good discussion with yourself sometime and ask yourself if you're really honoring yourself as you otherwise would?

It's a scary discussion that in the end isn't all that scary...

It could be life changing!

Think about it...

As Always,
