ask myself...(p.23)
“If you get the inside right, the outside will fall into place.”
-Eckhart Tolle
-Lucrezia Panciatichi
This past week I have moved much, much slower. In fact, I haven't moved much at all.
And though my steps were few, my sight became clearer.
By slowing down, I was given a glimpse from the inside out*, not outside in*.
I began to see differently this week.
I canceled many things. I realized I had invested enough in courses, classes, things, challenges, and gathered enough knowledge in my business and life to rely greater on my own instincts.
What I found I need more of is me.
My advice, my input, because what I create should be solely mine.
It deserves my instruction booklet, but sadly I have never actually written one, only read others.
I am learning to follow my heart, not my head.
My head wants to lead, wants to protect, wants to gather ALL the information from the world.
My heart, on the other hand, wants to be in the moment, never predicting but just knowing which way to go.
My heart knows, and my mind forms strategies.
Which feels better?
Depends on my mood.
Following one's heart takes something that following one's head does not, faith.
You must have faith when you listen to your heart.
Your head has the facts, the probabilities; your heart has no such measure.
So why would anyone follow their heart then?
When they become so tired of following the world.
It's like I've been handed the baton for the first time.
How can that be? It's my baton!
I am the one who has handed it off, over and over.
Many of you are probably scratching your heads, wondering what I am talking about.
For those of you, I can say confidently that you have your baton and instruction booklet, and you are running with it. And might I say, “Well done!”.
I have searched outside of myself on how to live my life, and create a business, and I understand now I do not need to search the world… but to ask myself. ❤️
* "Inside out" comes from ME to the world.
* "Outside in" comes from the WORLD to me.
