Last year, I had a discussion with Colin in the comments to my last Monday post, “The World Waits For You!” Colin said that he did not necessarily trust the journey, but often just resigned himself to the circumstances, which is why he followed certain directions. Still, he moved forward in such constructive ways.

It proves to me that no matter what decision we make and for what reason we do it, it will lead us. We may take a different approach to get to our destination, but we will arrive there. It can make us unhappy not knowing why we are to walk a particular path, which often appears when we resign. But over time, and with repeated experience, we realize that the explanation might follow later. Then even resigning vibrates a different energy, OR resigning turns into trust that there will be a greater context. We begin to trust that uncomfortable changes, broken dreams, or unsuccessful moves will guide us to a better place, even though we cannot see it at that moment. Sometimes, following a new direction by resigning is a great occasion to discover fields that would have been hidden if we had kept resisting.

Other than that, I still believe that when making a decision (even when made by giving in), we need to stick with it. We must follow the road consciously, or we may overlook the reason why we were pushed to walk it, which gives even more meaning to how things come together in the end. So, resigning can be the only tool that makes us walk a path we are supposed to. No matter how tough, dark, and challenging that walk may become, it prepares us for something so much better than we ever had before. We just need to practice to receive (and recognize) what waits for us. At the end of last year, I had a client who went through a hard year. However, she was forced to look deep and see her own value. She needed to realize that she is so much more than others tried to convince her for decades. The being in her has become bigger than the shell that surrounded her, and the process of breaking that shell was painful. But after the many cracks in that shell and lots of pieces that had already fallen off, she saw the light that had always waited for her beyond the blinds.

I am closing this post by sharing some of the inspiring and important messages Colin shared in his comments:

I believe that there are always positives in any situation,
but I have to acknowledge that it can take time to understand what they are.
Once acknowledged however … give your new direction 110% and enjoy the ride!

In Love and Light
