Follow your heart

July 21, 2023

What I want to do seems hard and doing it out in the world without barriers is scary. How will I know I'm making a difference or doing it right? (There it is!)

I was scared to listen to myself and make my own choices on what to focus on. I was afraid I was not smart enough to succeed in this way. Without someone else telling me I was on the right path, I wouldn't know how to know if I was succeeding. I am smart; I have experience and knowledge that I use to back up my decisions. I'm a great thinker; I actually have a hard time shutting the thinking down. It has taken me many months after writing this to identify a potential path to follow. I realized I was listening to the wrong part of me. Where I am headed isn't about listening to my mind but rather to my heart. By December, I knew where not to look; by April, I found a book to help guide me. In October 2024, I built myself a practice and feel I might be on to something.

The mask has started crumbling.
