Be your own Guru

I have to get back on the main path soon. If I get lost now, well….

I don't actually know what will happen. And the fear of the unknown is what stops us from exploring and living in ways other than the one we have learned.

Because it could be that it was the right path for you that you were on even though everything inside you screams that you are not on the main road. But just as the paths in the forest become clearer the more they are used and walked, the more the paths in your inner self and in life become clearer and safer because they become known.

So maybe it's time to step out on that side road that looks completely overgrown and make it your main road in life.

What could happen?

I know one thing for sure! If you don't step out on the side road, whether it's today or in 2 years, nothing else will happen and you will continue to feel the way you feel right now.

Maybe it will even get worse because you spend more and more energy staying on the known highway than creating your own and completely perfect highway - in all its imperfection, throughout your life.

Dare it!

Step out on the path even if you don't know what good it will do. Our brain can't calculate the result, but the heart can show you the way - one step at a time.

Yours is to listen, see and dare - even when you are afraid.

So step up and support yourself in that rather than focusing on planning and anticipating. Support yourself in taking the step you can feel calling rather than having to understand and explain what it will do for you, where you are going and what the meaning of your life is.

Because as a wise person once said:

Life is lived forwards but understood backwards.

So..

You may only find the meaning when life is lived.

Live the life that is yours and that your heart guides you to.

Be your own guru.
