This Isn't Working For Me

When you come to a crossroads, is it difficult for you to make a decision that goes against the crowd?  If I admire people, sometimes the "old me" would bend over backwards to take their opinions as "gospel".  It's an amazing shift when we understand that the answers can be different for each of us, and it's actually a good thing.

Conflict provides clarity, what you want to do vs. what you don't want to do.  If you are having conflict with someone in your life who is or was an authority figure and you disagree with him, it can be difficult to take a different path without considering his feelings.

Our pathway to our best lives includes shifts along the road that can potentially surprise others if they are used to us being less vocal or less decisive, but it's all good!!  Once we make the decision to change, each new direction doesn't have to become a screaming match, we can silently disagree with someone's perspective.  We can quietly become stronger.

Change doesn't have to be "shouted from the rooftops".  Even though it might feel more powerful to get nose to nose with the person you disagree with, it is not necessary.  Change does not become deeper from the level of our voices as we break away from our previous beliefs.  In fact, if it's easier to make silent changes, this is an area where the path of least resistance is a great choice.

Our private, sacred moments of clarity provide the best potential for changes.  Once we can envision what our next step is to create new possibilities, we will be able to expand on our decision and allow it to strengthen before we have to come into contact with someone who may not accept our decisions easily.

Have a wonderful day!
