How To Choose Your Path

Think about all the choices you make every day. Do you cut that person off in traffic? Who do you vote for? Do you stay faithful to your partner or spouse? We all make many decisions every day that affect our lives and the people around us.

It is recommended we take time to wrestle with our decisions and make the right decision. When we are grounded and in alignment with our true self, it is not as difficult as it may seem. It is always more difficult when we take the path that the rest of the world seems to preach or dictate. The tendency is to take the easy path; the simple path; the selfish path. And once we do, we then wish we had taken a different path – a path less travelled. Hindsight is too often 20/20.

I’ve always believed when we go in peace and follow our intuition and our truth, we make the best choices. But how do you hear that inner voice? I find for myself that I access my intuition best through meditation, prayer and spending some time in solitude.

It is definitely challenging to follow your inner guidance, as we often have friends and relatives and the false beliefs of the world filling is with fear, greed and guilt if we do what is right. Many of us believe we must do as others feel fit. All too many times that creates dis-ease. Being true to ourselves instead has lasting health and happiness benefits.

When I was younger I was confused. Who do I listen to? When I started listening to my inner voice it resulted in taking the path less traveled. I ended up much more content and I can now usually see the right path with clarity. There is no more confusion. I can hear Spirit confirming my inner feeling to be the right one.

When you feel tempted by the world, take a step back and reconsider. The next time someone you trust and respect tells you to do what doesn’t feel right to you, remember you may not be on the same path as they are. It is okay to not do what everyone else is doing. It is okay to do something you have never thought of before. It may have a wonderful outcome.

Take time to jot down your dreams. Set an intention before going to sleep. Simply ask Spirit to reveal the answers to you during your astral travels or to send you a sign. Meditation and prayer will also show you which path to take. Personally, I also like to do muscle testing and ask Spirit to confirm what I’m getting.

I also follow a simple rule of thumb: if it doesn’t feel right it probably isn’t the right thing to do. The right course of action is always going to feel good and make you feel at peace and content.

Take time for self-care and really get to know yourself. Then there will never be a question as to what to do. Take time for you. That time in silence is the most precious time you will ever spend. It helps you to hear that still small voice that will never mislead you.

May your trails be crooked, winding, lonesome, dangerous, leading to the most amazing view. May your mountains rise into and above the clouds ~ Edward Abbey

If it is time to go down a different path, because the original one no longer serves you and there is no longer any soul growth and soul evolution, it is okay to change it up! It’s all about progression and moving forward for the good of your soul. If you are not doing the right thing for you, you cannot help others. So, always follow the path and when it curves you will know which way to go, without doubt and hesitation.

May your path always be filled with light and clarity. May you always know which way to go.
