Taking The Wrong Path…


Nature and earth are not bound by timetables, goals and plans. Can we trust our intuition; learn to listen and respond? What if just by allowing your difference, trusting it, following it, valuing it; you can be free of doubt and fear?

Someone asked me yesterday what I feared...

Today, I decided to honour myself - all of myself and allow myself to not know what I was doing. My premise: that if we allow it, life and nature will show us exactly where we are swimming against the tide.

So...

I woke up naturally again this morning before all were awake and headed off into the foothills for a hike. I wanted to march; find a path that led me in a circle so I could control where I started and where I finished. A walk to help me

  • Exercise my body

  • Calm my mind

  • Get sun in my eyes

  • Think up LinkedIn posts

  • Tick lots of boxes, basically, whilst under the guise of relaxation!!



your inner guidance

But I knew. I know that we have to surrender our control to be free of doubt and overthinking. So I said to myself (or higher self or nature?) "GUIDE ME".

I followed paths that went nowhere. I turned back and took other paths. I noticed my discomfort at not moving forwards. Sound familiar? And then I noticed.

The earth was all around me.

'Wrong' path or not, beauty was at my feet, touching my hair, brushing my bare legs.

THERE IS NO WRONG PATH

The final gift came when I stood looking at the distant hills, noticing my thoughts that I hadn't done enough, that I was getting it wrong, when I suddenly saw three hares frolicking in the shadows of a dewy field. They turned tail when they saw me. And I knew my biggest fear was ungrounded.

Have you guessed what I am most afraid of? Maybe you are, too?

Getting it wrong!

And yet we can't.

What if you, in all your random flitting, are more akin to nature?

🌼 Sheep don't do circular walks.
🌼 Butterflies don't have goals and plans.
🌼 Eagles don't have a timetable.

They are aware in each moment, listening and responding. Maybe you're good at that, too. What if just by allowing your difference, trusting it, following it, valuing it; you can be free of doubt and fear?

What if today you get curious about where you work beautifully, rather than where you still have work to do?
