Monday Morning Musings
How do you know that you are on the right path (for your purpose)?
I’ll be back later today to let you know what I look for. In the meantime, have at it
I’m back!
I asked this question because I’m wondering if I’m on the right path. I’m selfish that way
What I’m inclined to say is that there is no “right” path. There is just the next step. Not even. There’s just the choice in the moment. You’re on the “right” path when every choice that you make is made consciously and you choose to be aligned with who you are.
How do you KNOW? For me, it’s when I get things in 3’s. For example, I was getting frustrated with the pace of things with the blog. So, I journalled about it on Sunday. I felt I was doing all this stuff and moving further and further away from the intent. After free-form writing for about 30 minutes, which I had not done in about 3 months, I realized how much I loved writing. Ideas started pouring in again. Later on, I was on the phone with my cousin and she mentioned how much my aunt (one of my heroes) in Trinidad loves my blog. So much so that she’s asking for a blog of her own. Then, I opened up Bloglines to read my daily feeds and discovered that Darren wrote about turning the focus of blogging back to, well, blogging.
So for today, in this moment, I consciously choose to write. I will continue to write until I feel inclined to choose something else. It’s the “write” path for me
In Spirit,

[...] Earlier this week, I had a moment of doubt. Actually, it’s been creeping in for a few weeks. I started thinking about what I was doing here on this site, whether I could really change the world or not, if spirituality really could be discussed openly, let alone applied to life, and, quite frankly, whether or not there was an audience for this stuff. I found myself chasing the end and shifting my focus from writing to links, stats, and feed subscriptions. As you can imagine, the more I concentrated on the mechanics of things and the less I focused on the content, the more doubtful I became. Hence my question on Monday, “How do you know you’re on the right path?” [...]

I sit here infront of computer and i am deep in thought instead of working, my mind can’t stop thinking of the choice i was faced with last weekend. I broke up with my boyfriend of six years and i keep asking myself whether i made the right choice or not, for me really it’s a matter of scared to be on my own because i have been in relationship most of my adult life and now all of a sudden i’m alone. Some days are harder than most and i want to drag myself back to him but my heart won’t allow me, i keep wishing maybe if he had cheated it would make it easier for me to leave and not turn back but he didn’t, he just didn’t love me they i wanted him to. I struggle a lot b’coz he once loved me with all his might and now he’s just trying to love me the right way and for me unfortunately it’s not enough. So i am faced with questions from people saying i should go back but i don’t think they understand.How do i know if i’ve made the right choice or not?
