Trusting Yourself and Your Choices
If you know you need to make a change in your life, stop looking for external validation for your choices.
As you make 'big' life decisions, this doesn't mean you won't need to work with the impact of your choices or renegotiate existing commitments. Make sure you clean up whatever residue you leave based on your choices.
I belive true leadership means being considerate of the whole as we navigate life and make choices. But remember, you don't need to seek permission or confirmation for your life choices.
This is YOUR life and your personal journey.
Trust yourself and your intuitive inner knowingness about what you need to do for yourself and your personal growth.
And always remember... There are no wrong choices in life, there will only ever be learning, wisdom, and clarity on the other side of your choices.
More below on making the 'right' choice...
We often hold back on making choices in life because we want to know if it's the 'right' choice.
I understand this type of thinking because I spent many years trying to get input from outside sources to make sure I did the 'right' thing.
Over time, I learned that in the end only YOU know what's right for you.
Anyone's opinion is limited by their experiences, perspective, and world view. It may be helpful to gain knowledge and hear others' criticism, advice, and feedack, but, in the end, you will still be the one to make the choice.
I am here to tell you to trust yourself and know that the only way you will know what's on the other side is to make the leap.
I have had to make many choices that, to the outside world, made no f**king sense... but I knew in my heart and soul that it had to be done for me to find out what was on the other side.
To make known what my soul was guiding me towards — which I've learned is always the experience we need for our unique journey of personal growth and evolution.
Only YOU know what choice(s) need to be made for YOU.
Trust that guidance and figure out what needs to happen to move through it with integrity. Make it as clean of a choice and transition as possible and, without appeasing, minimize and take responsibility for the impact of your choices on others.
One important tip to get deeper clarity on your choices:
Work on relaxing your mind and body to get the highest level of clarity.
In a state of stress, our deepest truth can get lost in the emotions of stress and we might make a choice out of fear or desperation, which isn't our deepest, wisest choice.
However, when our mind and body is relaxed, our heart's intuition is available to be received and we all of a sudden know, with certainty, what we need to do. That's what I call our soul's knowingness and guidance.
Meditation, yoga, and getting in nature are all great ways to relax the mind and body. Find what works for you, but I highly encourage you to find a way to reduce your stress levels, otherwise your deepest heart wisdom will not be available to you.
Much love to you always,
Jonathan
