Beautiful post and beautiful art.
There is a tendency with New Age speak these days, to say one is being guided. Rather more often than not, it is a misguided belief, that planning is bad and the spontaneity of life will do all of the hard work for you to end up at the right place. Granted synchronicity does happen, but if one is aware of their desires, they then more easily recognise opportunity when it presents itself. For some people, life is something that happens to them, while others make their life happen.
Very well put. Although I believe that the New Age thought didn't mean that we shouldn't work for our goals, yet people may misunderstand it (sometimes in purpose) to stop working hard.
When we are aware of our desires and goals, we will be more vigilant of the guidance of the Universe and thus we will be recognize and catch opportunities more easily.
I believe we are being constantly guided in our lives because we are born to reach a destination. However, depending where we look (at our feet or the horizon) life will happen to us or we make it happen.
Thank you for sharing :)
Hi @theleapingkoala! Yes, while the original thought may maybe so not intended that "we shouldn't work for our goals", yet, that sphere is so dominated by snake oil salesmen (and women) who prey upon weaker people's natures to turn a profit.
Indeed, we are guided, but for that as I wrote, we must truly know our Desire, and that is not the voice in our head, nor our compulsions, it is that thing that moves us, which in of itself is an inner stillness.
Yes, feet or the horizon, there between lies our will. =)
Beautiful words again :)
