pay attention to the road... your road

Do defining moments equip an individual with an enhanced internal navigation system? I ask because I believe the further along the path you travel, the less road signs there are. The less clarity there seems to be. Assurance gives way to misleading factors driving your every choice. Something has to take over if you're going to keep travelling the right path.

You can't avoid the challenge of learning how to navigate from the inside rather than depending on the outside. Well, aside from taking round-a-bouts or traffic circles where, yes, lights and signs remain in plenty because you're moving in the same circle over and over - never travelling deeper, rather set in course on cruise control. These signs keep you in place, never changing, never growing. Comforting little circles - slow enough you don't get dizzy, you don't notice. You don't have to think, but ease... ease doesn't mean it's the right road you should be on. Buck up and take the next right.....

Defining moments... that which enhances an individual? Scrapes away the scales from tired eyes? Defining moments full of realization perhaps just as much about what doesn't define you as what does. They are what kicks you into a passionate stand - "never will I ____________" or "from here on I will ______________." Internal navigation. Parameters set.

What about the defining moments which by their own nature are ever so slight? An absolutely brittle tremor missed by most. Unrecognized, unappreciated for the change in course it contributed to (even though it may take years to transpire). Doesn't matter, the slightest change in direction is a change in direction and plays part in altering your final destination.

On any given day I do not believe our destination remains the same. You can change it a dozen times over within a single day. With, or without knowing it.

You may miss a turn or two or twenty... no one is counting. Regardless of where the missed turn seems to be taking you in the moment, be open to the journey - this is where possibility is waiting to be shot out of a canon, breaking ground on a path you may never have considered before.

Eyes of the heart and soul - keep them wide open. Brace for it... synchronicity, favor and manifestation. Let it be in your world. Move the question mark aside, clear the doorway, the windows, the walkways... make room for flow.
