Receiving (rather than making) a decision

How does it feel to you to stand at the crossroads of a decision? 

At some point in my life

I realized

that there is a distinct difference 

between making a decision

and receiving a decision.

Since this understanding has landed in me

things feel so much easier

as I recognize

that so long as I maintain the clarity of my purpose

I can see beyond the noise. 

You can feel 

what is moving in you

calling you to move in response. 

As long as you ongoingly 

clarify your intention

you can step forward

with grace and elegance

at any junction.  

How do you approach decisions? 

For me, I think this understanding came

from a place of despair

of stress about decision making

and confusion between hearing my inner voice

and hearing the external voices - culture, other people, expectations….

I just couldn’t continue

trying to be what others wanted me to be

and I surrendered

to being myself. 

You too can relax into your own voice

into the movements of your waters

in harmony with the waters of the universe.
