A short but extremely useful one today.
Have a Big Day ahead? Something disturbing your mind? A decision that cannot be put off any longer? Feel like you are lost and lack direction? Wondering how you will make it through not the year, month or week, but just today?
Wonderful, this is the feeling you have whenever you have been lost (who never wandered away from their parents in a store as a kid?). That feeling of fear and helplessness. The sickening uncertainty.
Here I am going to draw on the Word, from the instruction manual for happiness, with happiness coming from inside of you as the result of guided actions.
The essence of Proverbs 3:5-6 is to trust God with all your heart, forget what your brain tells you (we will talk about lies another day), bring your focus & actions to bear on Him and He will show the way. Just ask for Light for the Path. How hard could it be to make a simple, humble, from the heart request for help and guidance?
For those with strong convictions it will seem to be impossible. Well that is o.k. All it means is that there has not been enough pain as yet, enough fear, enough of the feelings required to gain the leverage to be willing to make a change. A great request for you those with strong convictions is to ask for the gift of willingness, after all, where you are in your life is highly correlated to the beliefs and actions you have taken to date. Maybe right now is the time to do something contrarian. When you think about that notion did you experience or notice a feeling? That is worth further exploration.
