"If the path that you are on does not feel good now, it will NOT feel good later. This is when you choose -- before you go down a path you do not want to go." – Malinda Dowsett, Lani Barna, authors of Change Your Conversation, Change Your Life

Having all your ducks in a row, and putting the external pieces
together does take effort – and it happens with greater ease when all those
choices have generated from the clarity of purpose you hold within. If you follow what inspires you, what
you love, what makes you happy – if you find the right work in which you feel blessed, which gives
you energy and ability to persist, even amidst obstacles, then you are aligning with your
internal compass and all choices follow naturally.
Kate’s Turn:
It has been said that the journey from the head to the heart is the longest. I’ve been making that trip often these days. As I build my coaching practice, as well as try to find employment to stabilize income, I hear myself say “I should apply for this job” even though my heart is not in it. And I feel somewhat a sense of relief when I get the letter saying they hired another person. I know I applied out of a sense of fear (finances) and chose to not listen to my heart. So I’m relieved when I didn’t get stuck in a track that is not a good fit for me.

On the other hand, I feel delighted to be
collaborating on a session for the Midwest Coaching Conference, where I get to
work in creativity – I feel happy, I have energy to take the effort needed to
pull off such a presentation, and I’m inspired to be immersed in the creative
process. I’m clear here about my
internal compass – I am saying “Yes” to the desires of my heart. But I still have this other desire to have stable income, so I
must feel my way to happiness, weighing the choices that I generate and the
ones that cross my path. I believe both are possible as I align
with my internal compass and see where this path takes form.
Get Fired Up:
Allow your mind to be still, and make the journey to your heart to ponder: What am I living for? What do I love? What makes me happy? Then pay attention to how you feel with every choice you make as you create your life. Feeling good will power your path.
