Why Direction is Important

in #spiritual7 years ago (edited)


Another one of those ironic plot twists of realization is figuring out exactly what I was manifesting at the start of this spiritual journey. I have been thinking I was intentionally isolating myself and perhaps in some aspect I was doing that. What I wanted was freedom and had no idea what it looked like. I think I manifested what I wanted and realized I had the power to do that all along, but when we unleash emotional energy without clear direction, sometimes we end up catching others in the crossfire. I guess it's a good reminder to always firmly set our intentions and know clearly what we want.

It's easy to know what we think we want and it's even easier to know what we want when it is gone, but putting the pieces together to figure out what happened isn't always easy. Self awareness will surely bring new opportunities and possibilities and clearly lessons were learned. I got my freedom from a life I didn't want and I guess I managed to exile the parts that I did want along with it. I think it's another good reminder to always look within for the answers to why and how we feel as opposed to look for validation from someone else. Live and learn. Namaste.

I love the philosophy behind this sentiment, however, I must say it isn't always easy to figure out your own intent or wants. In fact, I'd venture to say it is impossible at times to know the self fully as even our minds play tricks on us.

That is true which is why I say fuck the details give me what I want to feel.

We have only the present moment after all. The past is gone and the future is just a concept.

Oof, that's a lot to parse. I like the ideas that you're expressing about self awareness and very specific intention though. I like to sit and think about what I want my day to look like each morning, and setting very specific goals for my work/personal life as well. If you know where you're going it's a lot easier to get there!

I've always been better at figuring out what I don't want. Reverse life.

Scratching those "nopes" off the list is helpful too! Haha sometimes less is more.

Thank you for this ..it's Monday morning already in this part of world & am using this as my gentle reminder to just smile & welcome what the day has to offer ..
Namaste
