“We must let go of the life we have planned so as to accept the one that is waiting for us.”  - Joseph Campbell

“The big question is if you are going to be able to say a hearty “yes” to your adventure.”  - Joseph Campbell

      At what point do we stop making the apparent decisions in our life and start making decisions based upon what we are supposed to do?  And how are we to figure out what we are “supposed” to do anyway?  Well, the first thing we can do is to start finding meaning in our lives each day.  Taking the time for a morning routine to ask for direction and the lesson in the day, and then reviewing the day at its close will start making apparent what we are suited to do and what our passions are.  If we tune ourselves into the needs that exist around us, soon we will be matching up what we are good at, what we enjoy doing and what there is genuine need for.  Procrastination and “boredom” can block us if we are in what we consider a “dead end” situation at the moment, but what will they do but conspire to keep us in a rut?  We can always find opportunities within what we are doing as well as extending ourselves outside our “comfort zone” to experiment with and discover new things that fit.

     If we break out of the box of what others (and ourselves) view as our limitations, there are infinite possibilities that await.  We can let other people’s self imposed constraints identify them, and push our envelope daily to realize new friendships, connections, opportunities, talents and ideas.  We can pray for knowledge of the directions we are supposed to take and the strength to make the changes needed.  We can start giving credibility to the possibilities that await us and let go of the anxieties that hold us back.  Why give any credibility to those that would give negative outlooks about or direction – who are they to say what we can or cannot accomplish?  We are unique – we cannot follow the path that is ours and ours alone and still march to the cadence set forth by others.  We can start seizing our destiny only if we seize this day – this moment, and be true to ourselves and our purpose.  Will we find the necessary faith within ourselves or will we find ways to rationalize caving in to our fears?  The answer lies in what we are doing right now, because what we are doing now is what we are doing with our life.

Today, may I surge forward.    

Happy Friday !!
