It's amazing to me how much a few carefully chosen words can create such an array of ideas, images or feelings. Well done on your moment of change - I've been reading about something called "the path of heart", which is trusting your process, holding to your highest visions.... I look forward to hearing about your changes when you're ready to share them. Good journeys my friend. Quite so Richard.

It's all in the imagination of the reader. I had a moment at work the other day which may have changed the direction of my career, I was a little unsure but in the end I went with it. I trusted the process, so often in my life I haven't, I've been paralysed with indecision and apprehension. I've always regretted it.

As I see it, questioning is about balance - too little, and you might not make the best of your life (never questioning if you're actually in a job that gives you little satisfaction, etc.), but too much and you might not take any action at all! Being paralyzed by "am I doing the right thing? What if I'm doing the wrong thing?" is no fun at all. A time comes when you just have to take a deep breath and say "I trust my unfolding process".

I saw it just now after having a day of questioning myself and my actions. Thanks. It’s as if you had seen into the future with that post.
