Inspired!

I can’t get myself to sleep. I think I have too much energy in my system that could keep a whole population awake! My heart is wide open and my mind is full of happy and hopeful thoughts. 

I was inspired tonight. 

I haven’t been inspired for a very long time. My mind was put to rest and my conscience was reassured.

You must be wondering what the hell is this woman talking about?

I’m talking about unspoken or undiscovered wisdom that we subconsciously keep inside for fear of losing faith in ourselves. We’re only lucky if someone comes into our life to help us bring it to the surface. 
This someone did that for me tonight.  A good friend gave me the pleasure of reading a couple of short stories he recently wrote. And before he even finished reading the first one I found myself making detrimental decisions about the future I had envisioned for myself up until minutes before he started reading. His wisdom gave me courage to change direction. I might not end up taking that turn but at least I had the courage to think about it.

Seriously what’s wrong with ‘giving up’ on a dream we thought could’ve been our pathway to a heavenly future? It wouldn’t be my first experience to let go of something I thought I badly wanted.  Twelve years ago I needed to hear my parents tell me “it was ok to turn down a masters scholarship” before I could turn a deaf ear to everybody who thought I was insane.

When our gut feeling starts having a struggle with our ego, it means that we need to listen carefully to what our heart is trying to tell us.

Thank you my friend for the inspiration that could potentially change my life!
