Did you ever feel that life is taking you in a new direction, a totally unknown direction? You do not know where you're heading or how you’re heading there… Still, deep inside, you feel that’s the right way for you.
Years back, I was following a predetermined path, studying and preparing my master, then my PhD in pharmacy working my way up the ladder of academia. But, other plans were meant for me. I had to take a leave after my second child was born. I had just finished my dissertation proposal and was ready to submit it. But, the faculty advisors refused. I had to return back to work for me to get my degree, something I couldn’t do with two young children at hand. My only way out was to submit my resignation to be able to finish my master. I felt so frustrated. I cried and cried for days and weeks. I felt oppressed and forced into a decision that changed my whole life plans… my life dreams… But… Wait a minute… Were they really “MY” dreams? This tragic experience forced me to stop and reconsider my path… my life… my passions and my goals. Now that I am not tied to any academic career any longer, what do I really want to do? I followed my passion for natural life and living and decided to shift gears… I pursued my PhD in natural health, a path that I wouldn’t have considered if I were still among the faculty staff.
This experience taught me the meaning of TRUST… Trust my Creator, trust His Ultimate Plans and Wisdoms, trust life and its unexpected forks on the road, and trust myself and my choices.
What do you need to trust? Are you fighting against the natural flow of your life? Are you holding on to dreams that are not even yours?
Pause for a while and ponder…
Reflect on your life and your passions… on your dreams and purposes…
Are you on the right track? Are you following your own path with awareness and mindfulness? Or, are you blindfolded, following the crowd wherever ‘they’ might take you?
Pause again and reflect…
Listen to your inner voice, to your deep heart whispers… Reconsider your responsibilities and re-evaluate your priorities…
Pray and supplicate for guidance… Align your will to the Divine will… Make choices… And Trust your choices!
Have a great day!
