What happens when you don’t know what to do?
Don’t get me wrong.
We always know what to do.
We may not know what to do in the moment because there are always so many things to do.
All at once.
For the driven, the to do list is a never ending mountain to climb.
How do we get a handle on all of the stuff?
I find that my life craves structure.
Nothing rigid. Just reminders so not much falls in the cracks with no chance to see the light until the next time I remember it.
Scheduling in my To Do keeps me on track.
What happens when what you have scheduled gets derailed by something else?
It is all okay.
Example to illustrate.
The other day while sitting in a parking lot having just completed a planned action, just before moving on to the follow up planned action and appointment, I got a call from a friend who lives in the county I was heading to.
She wanted to get together. I thought “why not”. She had called at the perfect time just as I was getting ready to head in her direction.
I had a brief thought that it probably wasn’t going to happen because this friend does not have the best relationship with her GPS.
Her Guidance System. (More on our true guidance system later).
Actually, I see this being all about following our own guidance system which never leads you astray, nor does it allow you to go off course when followed.
So we agreed on where we would meet.
I got to my destination, did what I needed to do, and left.
I drove to the meeting location, reached out to my friend, and settled in to wait for her.
Her estimated arrival time was 25 minutes.
Thirty minutes passed. An hour passed. I did not want to distract her because I knew she was driving. But I had to call to get an idea of when she would be arriving.
She said her GPS had her driving around in circles.
We confirmed the address and she resumed her traveling.
I watched a woman meticulously mowing her lawn.
I watched a few YouTube videos on something I was interested in and generally enjoyed having a moment to appreciate the beautiful, clear, not too hot, breezy, sunny day.
Another hour passed and I called her again.
She was having the hardest time trying to find her way to our meeting place.
I did not have any more time left to wait.
I wasn’t mad.
Things, for me, were just as they needed to be.
But, I had run out of time for this previously unplanned interlude and I needed to push on.
She tried to make our meeting happen.
I made myself available but we both knew it wasn’t happening at that point.
We both tried.
We left it at trying again another time.
This for me is a lesson about being in alignment with our personal GPS system.
Our personal GPS system is always guiding us to our desired destination.
We are all guided and directed along our life path by our own personal Inner Guidance GPS System.
Sometimes we are not in alignment with our Inner Guidance System and, try as we might, we just can’t seem to follow the path laid out for us.
We get off track, turned around, and feel like we are going in circles.
As in this case, we turn back onto the same street time and time again, not understanding why we just can’t seem to get to where we are trying to go.
In the moment, we are frustrated because our directions are not clear to us, and we are at a loss about what to do.
So.
Mission aborted.
We had an intention.
We set out on our path.
We’re moving along, excited about where we are going.
Suddenly, it seems like we are just lost.
No forward movement.
We stop and ask for outside guidance to no avail.
We realize we will not be reaching our destination on this day.
We give up, give in to our current situation, and abort our mission.
We go back to start not feeling good about not having reached our destination.
It is okay.
There is always tomorrow.
The timing just was not right.
On the other hand, I too was following my on personal GPS system.
I felt fine.
I had an unplanned opportunity to sit comfortably, relaxed, enjoying the space I was in, focused on the moment
I could have felt like i had wasted two hours of my time considering all of the things I knew I could have been doing with the time.
I felt and understood that my GPS is always guiding me along my path and knows exactly what I am needing in every moment.
I needed this moment to myself, alone, not having any thing to do except sit, be still and be thankful.
Bottom line.
We are always exactly where we are supposed to be in every given moment.
It is okay to give up iron-willed, tight-fisted control and just let ourselves be guided to what is the thing we are really needing in our lives in the moment.
No worries.
We will always get to our desired destination.
And, we will always be guided to that thing we are needing right now, even when we do not start out knowing this is the thing we needed right now.
Lovingly guided, flow-based living makes life easy.
Look for the Blessing in the unplanned detour along your path.
We are never derailed.
We just have to take the path right in front of us because it is leading us to the place we belong in that moment, and it is all good.
I personally have given up struggling and fighting to make all the stuff happen in my life.
I am open to and allowing myself to be divinely guided along my path.
I’m talking about Letting Go And Letting God.
And so it is.
And it feels so good.
Heart. Based. Sharing.
Peace. Love. Blessings.
