My friend in a semi-crisis texted me this today:
Give in or take risk? Arg!
I laughed out loud because of how intimately I know the feeling. The unknown is crippling, incapacitating and yet necessary in so many instances to improve my life. Why does it have to be such a mind-numbing dilemma? I guess it all comes down to how well I know my inner voice. How much I trust myself and by this I mean the true self unclouded by societies norms, family expectations, and everything else the media and people around me project. I never understood until recently how crucial an audible inner voice is to a successful life. Because ultimately only I know what I want despite my earlier assumption that others might be wiser.
With much practice over the past year I have fine-tuned my hearing to pick up this internal whisper, which as luck would have it gives pretty shrewd advice. So as long as I remember to turn the volume of other things down and listen carefully I can retain that critically perceptive insight only I can provide. A daily activity, which is exhausting, but profoundly worthwhile.
