Follow Your Own Path...

I feel as if I keep having these life awakening experiences as of lately. This past weekend, I went on a trip to Atlanta for a Living Aligned event. The weekend was filled with workshops, yoga, meditation, discussions on astrology, love, femininity, health, diet, love and everything in between and it was powerful. The attendees all brought such an amazing energy to the event, I didn’t want to leave. The warm hugs, the laughter, the circles of hands held; right hand to the heavens, left hand to the earth…. Each moment has been etched in my mind.

One evening, I actually had a reading done. Now, I have never been one who believes in Tarot cards, palm reading, etc., so I have never felt at ease with having one done.  But this weekend was a little different. Maybe it was because I was out of town. Maybe it was because of the energy surrounding the weekend. Maybe it was because the right person came to the event who I was comfortable enough to ask her a few questions and she didn’t use cards or read my palms. She did it through her intuition.

She told me to ask her a specific question. The first question I asked was about my career path. Immediately she told me I was going to be an entrepreneur. We discussed that for a while and all she said brought tears to my eyes, because she basically told me what I knew I wanted to do and she let me know that it was going to be amazing when I finally stopped being scared to follow my plan. She envisioned something as magical and beautiful as I had already created and planned.

I then asked about a past relationship. Explained a little background, but finished it with, “I feel as if he used me. I don’t feel as if he loved me.” She stated, “What are you talking about? You used him too.” I looked at her sideways as if to say, ‘Oh hell no, she didn’t! but as I thought about it, she again said, “Didn’t you? Didn’t you benefit as well?” I had to own up to it and admit that I had benefited from it as well. I received affection, something I was craving for a very long time. I received the attention I had been wanting for a long time. It was the first time I recognized it as using him though. It was the first time someone checked me and let me know that this was not all about him using me. And while we may have used each other in different ways, I was still receiving something from it. It may not have been as much as he had received, but as she stated, that was why I walked away. He was a stepping stone to get where I am today and without that hurt and pain and love (because her answer to the question about his love was that he loved me the best he knew how to love), I would have been unable to grow to where I am today. I do believe that to be true. I do believe that without all I have gone through, I would not feel this free and full of happiness and love. I feel as if the experiences within the past year have taken me to another plateau in my life and I am continuing to climb higher.

Each of us has a plan etched out for us. We each know where we want to go. We know what we love, what inspires us, what ignites that creativity in our minds. We just need to stop being scared to follow our hearts. As a dear friend told me, “Stop looking for outside resources to tell you what you already know you need to do.”

Follow your heart. Create your own path and follow it. Know that whatever you do when you are following your dreams will be a dream come true because you weren’t afraid to stand in your own way. And despite the outcome, it will be a Mind-blowing Experience.
