Where does your path lead you?

Each of us, has a unique and expansive life path which we are called to experience. Society and old narratives often confuse our minds and blur the way. But the path is always there, and it’s always calling us forward (i.e. inward).

Whether we’ll choose to seek clarity through the mind-fog and emotional turbulence and follow,- or better create-, our path, is ultimately a choice.

Over the last few days, I am lacking inspiration - and motivation- to write. Part of this lack of motivation has also to do with the fact that my expectations regarding the impact and success of my new endeavor as a creative have not (yet) met. The latter makes me question how valuable what I have to offer actually is, for people. On the other hand, my inner knowing -that also keeps me going- dictates that whatever I am creating or I am called to put out there, is meaningful and important to talk about and express (also) in a public setting.

In a way, I am in service of myself first, with the genuine intention that this will be of service and benefit to others too.

A part of me feels in peace, even excited, with that realization -and leaves space for this experience to unfold as it’s meant to-. At the same time another part of me holds certain expectations and remains in disbelief until it can observe ‘tangible results’. It also worries that I may be fooling myself and end up finding myself in another crossroads of not knowing who I am and what it is that I want to be doing or creating a few months down the road.

This inner conflict has become quite familiar to me, at this point. I am essentially split between two worlds. The old and the new.

I often find myself wonder: “Which part is actually valid or true for me? And how can I discern between the two and take aligned action? (even if that would be not acting for now).” Does it really come down to what I choose to believe or not?

The answer to all these questions (and other similar to these) is always the same: Choose love and expansion over fear and contraction.

In my case that practically translates into: “Breath, focus on your vision and follow what excites and inspires you. Allow time to do its thing and let things unfold even better than your expectations.”

My life’s path over the last few years leads me deeper and deeper into the unknown. This is a path where narratives, attachment to outcomes, beliefs, ideas and expectations are being constantly surfaced so that they will be seen, questioned and re-evaluated. In this context many of the old beliefs- alongside with its attached personality and identity traits- are being dissolved, replaced and released. Others are being kept or evolved alongside with my newly adopted and chosen beliefs. Beliefs that I consciously choose and which support my growth and evolution as a soul.

This process calls me more and more towards complete and genuine surrender. The more I surrender into this process, the more ease and balance I discover within myself and a more pleasant life experience I get to have, regardless of whether my expectations are being met.

The most challenging part of this (new for me) ‘way of being’ is acting honestly, openly, with integrity and respect alongside people who I still choose to have in my life, yet they are not on the same path as me and may still largely operate from a different paradigm (for example driven by a lack or fearful mindset).

These people tend to (unconsciously) distract me and even attempt to become an obstacle in my way towards change. The fact that they think that they act in alignment with my benefit, calls for clear and firm boundaries from my part.

Banning such people from my life may seem logical or even a natural consequence to many - and I’ve certainly have done this-, yet I do see it as another way of avoiding what can potentially ‘hurt’ you.

Instead, I find discernment and healthy boundaries is a more balanced and healthy way of relating to others. Especially with the ones closest to me -still in the process of mastering that skill but I do see progress!-.

If you’ve ever wonder what life is…following and experiencing your soul’s calling (unique path) and following what excites you is the answer. That’s why you are here. Now that you know…let’s get to ‘work’.

Following your unique path in today’s society is not the easiest thing you will be called to do, at first, but it is certainly the most natural thing you will be called to do. The more you detach from expectations, fearful or controlling narratives and the false comfort and security of stagnation, the easier and more exciting it will become.

And don’t worry about the end result. There is no real end or predefined result other than expansion, so give it time, play around, fail as many times as you need but keep moving forward…! Afterall, nothing is fixated and nothing is permanent -unless you choose to keep buying into this outdated and restrictive narrative-.
