Following Your Path
Flower Vignette: Rose of Venus
It is easy to give our attention to conflict and drama. They release various hormones and neurotransmitters that keep us engaged in a state of excitement when we are craving excitement or when we are have a compulsion for figuring things out. But we don’t always need to figure everything out, especially for other people and sometimes even our own lives. We also don’t need to settle for lesser forms of excitement. Excitation over inspiration, stimulation over creativity and pushing over opening will most likely not lead you to the truest expression of your path.
I’ve come to realize that the truth often speaks softly and gently. Yes, we’ve all had big, booming experiencing in our life that pointed us in a direction that we obviously needed to take. But that usually happens after the soft and gentle voice of truth is drowned out or ignored. Sometimes hearing and embracing the truth means doing something scary and sometimes it means doing something decidedly mundane or boring. It almost always means not worrying how others are perceiving you. Sticking around to resolve other people’s feelings about you will undoubtedly result in time wasted and delayed movement on your true path.
Listening to Truth offers us the opportunity to practice virtues that refine our values, At first, this can feel like betrayal. For example, we may value honesty, which gives way to over-explaining or trying to control another person’s reaction. The truth that keeps us on our path may offer us the opportunity to withhold or possibly even lie as a means of honoring our listening, harmony, conviction and dedication.
Undoubtedly, when we are guided by the Truth that speaks from within us, our heart will begin to lead, our minds will follow and the exertion it takes to create will be in harmonious measure to the space we are creating in.
