Journey – where are you going?
These creatures travel without map or external GPS and still arrive where they are supposed to go. They have no doubt about the route or how they will arrive there.
What about you?
Life is a journey, and still many of us just drift along and often end up where we didn´t want to be.
Have you ever been in a situation where you needed to ask yourself how the heck did I get here?. It could be in a relationship that never really worked. Or in a job that you find boring. Or even in a financial mess that you do not see the way out of.
Probably you ignored that inner voice, your guide who tried to warn you.
But of course I´ll marry him. He has a good job, is very kind and loves children.
Don´t be ridiculous, of course I´ll study law. My interest for photo will be a hobby. Do you know how difficult it would be to make a career as photographer?!
Every one has a credit card!
It doesn´t even need to be that dramatic. It can simply be that you have arrived at a place in life that creates a gnawing feeling of unsatiesfaction. And there´s nothing to put the finger on. You have a great job, a lovely home, a good marriage and your kids are doing fine. So why can´t you be happy?
Unlike other animals, we tend to not listen to our inner GPS, our intuition. From parents to friends, teachers, colleagues and society in general, there are so many voices that tell us where to go and what to do. Too many influences, too much noise. To many opinions.
Why should you listen to directions from someone who has never been where you are or where you want to go?
Even if we hear our inner voice, we might quickly shut it down, telling ourself this is ridiculous, impossible or even plain stupid.
Every autumn, the white wagtail travels from her home in Norway to southern Spain or north Africa. Do you think the other white wagtails warns her or discourage her? Telling her it is too far to travel for a tiny bird, the journey is too dangerous and how on earth are you going to survive in a foreign country?
Listening to your inner voice and following your inner GPS will lead you on the journey you are meant to take. That you were born to take.
It doesn´t mean it will be easy. Even white wagtails risk dangerous meetings with windmills. But the alternative – ignoring the inner travel guide – we´ll lead you onto an even more dangous journey. The journey were you end up with a life that feels unfullfilled and unlived.
