Grand Adventures Await

There are experiences waiting for you, grand adventures of soul and spirit that only you can have, for they are unique and individual; they are the way only you can have them.



And so, of course, they wait for you outside of what others have told you. For how can anyone else tell you how to walk your path, when it lies through a jungle no one else has ever entered, crosses a desert filled with oases no one else has discovered, leads to the mountain no one else has yet climbed?



Your path is the one that lies right in front of you, lit by only one or two footsteps that glow gold before you. You step forward into that glow and then one or two more footsteps appear. You step into the jungle and see a glowing symbol carved on a tree that seems to say, “This Way.” And this, then is your path.



It is shrouded in mystery. It is for you alone. Another person, standing before that same tree, might see nothing or perhaps an arrow pointing the opposite direction. For your journey is your own.



And why is this important to know? Because it requires you to have absolute belief in your own instincts, that little voice that suggests to you that what someone else is saying might not be right for you; that little tug that says that the ceremony someone else is performing would be slightly different if you were to follow your own instincts. All of this, these tugs, voices, and hunches, are not extraneous. They are central. They are, in fact, what matters.



For once you free yourself from the directives of others, once you become a student to your own intuitive instruction, things will become clearer. Once you begin to take from others only what resonates deeply within you and ignore the rest, then your own internal voice will become clearer and clearer. And then, with this clarity, your own internal voice will become distinct and you will be able to branch out and have amazing soul adventures with complete faith that you are, in fact, doing exactly what you are meant to do.



Listen. Feel. Know. Step. Dare. Reach. Laugh.



Ah, what an adventure this life is. How fortunate you are, how blessed, how steeped in grace. Enjoy!
