The Road Less Traveled

You know how sometimes you make decisions and those decisions make no logical or rational sense? They just feel right. It happens all the time with me when I'm driving, and almost always has me avoid traffic, or have all green lights or gets me there faster even though it is a longer route according to the map.

What if life has that kind of "in the moment" brilliant guidance available to us at all times? Although it's unfamiliar to live by heart, it's inevitable. And remember, unfamiliar is not the same as scary.

You've probably heard me talk about the Not Belonging Club before. That club is for people who tend to take the road less travelled, who don't believe everything they hear or are taught. They want to figure stuff out in a way that feels good to them. They also tend to be open and willing to listen to their heart instead of everyone else (which may occasionally occur as stubborn). It often feels like they are on their own because not a lot of people think like they do. They are way-makers.

You are a way-maker. When you are cutting a fresh trail, it will seem unfamiliar—sometimes illogicial—and it will be brilliant and miraculous as you learn to trust your own heart's calling.

The good news is you are not alone. If the world is filled with those all seeking to find their path of most joy, that's an awfully big club!

It may seem unfamiliar and unsupported sometimes to make the decisions that you make. Remember: unfamiliar becomes familiar pretty fast with practice.
