Sometimes we have a question in our lives at a particular time without any idea of the answer. We may not even be exactly clear what the question is.
It's the feeling in your gut that makes you anxious, unsettled and wishing that it would go away.
It's the time when some people overeat, exercise to the extreme or try to distract themselves in some way.
For many, they may use some form of denial or avoidance to deal (or not to deal) with their "reality."
For me, (for better or for worse) I seem to have the need to face it head on and confront the "demon in the closet". The problem is that I often do not have the patience to wait and let the answer come when it is meant to come. (What can I say-patience has never been my forte!)
At those times, I try to focus on the belief that life is meant to be exactly how it is and "let go" of the worry as best I can.
It's like riding a wave without thinking too much about what might happen or whether you will crash.
Some would call this time my "midlife crisis" but I feel certain that I will always take
"the road less traveled on." So, perhaps I it would be better to think of these internal challenges as my lifetime ride of bravery and risk in the process of discovery.
I like feeling passion for things-relationships, work, questions of the heart and soul. And, while this can often times feel quite challenging , in the end, I must remember that it is the path I must be destined to take as this is the one I keep taking.
Some of you will understand exactly what I mean. We are the exception to the rule! Today, I spoke with someone who resonated with this essence. What a pleasure to see that there are more people like myself who also take the road less traveled. Makes for a much less lonely trip.
