What happens if you don’t heed the wisdom in your heart that may be telling you it’s time for a change?
We risk getting stuck in a life-long rut and living a safe, “status quo” life, which may remain the same without any change for years, and, worse yet, a life in which, we may never realize our fullest happiness and potential.
The key difference between living a life fulfilled and a life of status quo is courage. Unless you find the courage to follow our Heart’s Wisdom – the wisdom of our Highest Self – you may never know the fullest joy that the Universe has in store for you.
I think we all have this inner knowing – a deep knowledge at our very core. Some of us choose to listen, honor and be guided by it, and others simply mask it, or ignore it, out of fear of change, not realizing what a miraculous gift this Inner Truth truly is. But, it takes courage to acknowledge your Truth, and, of course, even greater courage to follow its wisdom. For me, a life lived not following my Heart’s Wisdom is not a life worth living.
The courage to listen to your heart, to be in touch with your deepest wisdom, and to make change based on this knowledge, is what living – being truly alive – is all about. It’s being actively engaged in life. If you choose not to listen and tune out our Inner Truth, you risk living a numb existence, hidden from much of the beauty and possibility that the Universe wants to make yours.
So, where do you go to look for courage when you are having difficulty finding it within yourself?
You find courage in faith. If you have faith that God/Goddess/Universe/Creator wants only the very best for you and your life, then you need not have any fear. You can step out courageously into life, creating the changes that you so deeply desire, with the firm faith and knowing that you are loved and guided by the Highest Good.
A good test for courage is the degree of difficulty. I know for me, if I am creating change that is deeply aligned with who I am, but I am finding it difficult, then I know that I am doing something courageous.
In looking back over my life, and this past year, especially, it is those extremely difficult, most painful, brave achievements that I am most proud of. They are the same ones that make me feel like an active, courageous participant in my life and co-creator with Higher Power and the Universe.
There is nothing as powerful as the wonderful feeling – the afterglow, if you will – of making a courageous change. When you are creating a life that is truly aligned with our Highest Truth, any fear, pain or difficulty is well worth it. The sheer joy and rewards found in living a brave, fulfilled and actively engaged life, is what living a courageous life is all about.
I’m still basking in my afterglow, and I look forward to courageously making more fulfilling changes everyday.
Peace – Love – Light
