A hidden voice lives within,
So easily mistaken for the words around.
Our truth does not exist separately of us.
It resides within the very existence of our being.
Yet each day we make decisions from a disconnected space.
So often we understand what,
Perhaps how,
But rarely do we stop to ask why.
It feels too deep,
Too far,
Too honest,
Too painful to look at.
And so our why lives on the top of a ragged mountain,
Too distant for us to see clearly,
Too challenging to reach easily.
And yet the true soul purpose lives within our why.
Our why is what aligns so sweetly with our intrinsic values.
When we make choices for the who,
The what,
The when,
And the how,
We set ourselves up for disappointment.
Because truly the only question we should be asking is why.
Take a moment,
Take a few deep breaths.
Consider a decision you've been needing guidance on.
Consider something you've been futilely trying to make work in your life.
Think of a goal,
A dream you've had.
And ask yourself why.
Try to let go of who you might be doing something for or not doing something for.
Try to free your consciousness of how.
Try to let go of when something may or may not be.
Don't consider where things may happen or fall.
And if you can,
Disconnect from the what.
Once you've let go of external attachments,
Ask yourself why.
Does your why align with your values?
Does your why connect with your true purpose and being?
Does your why feel good to you?
Perhaps you reflect on experiences of the past.
Roads you've ventured down only to find yourself waiting in mud,
Facing the decision to trudge ahead or turn back.
Rest assured it is not any one thing but every one thing that leads you to your success tomorrow.
Every mistake you thought you made,
Every choice you thought was poor,
It was not in vain,
It was not time lost.
Each value you let slide,
Every why you forgot to ask,
You gathered new insights,
New strengths,
And new knowledge of connection for tomorrow's dreams and aspirations.
So begin now to consider the whys of the past that led you to this place today.
Find hope in knowing it was a part of your celestial journey and begin to consider the why for today.
Elevate your visions and your hopes to a space of pure acceptance that whatever arrives in your path is fully intended for you now and reconnect with your why.
When you doubt your intention,
When you flounder in your decisions or seek guidance,
Your answers are always within.
They lie in the power of your why.
And remember it is not any one thing but every one thing that guides you to the place you are meant to be tomorrow.
You
