Thank you. How do we navigate the confusion ? Sometimes a gut feeling says “no”. Sometimes we do it anyways and it turns out great. Some times we do it and turns out chaotic . Sometimes we don’t do it and we miss out. And at times we don’t do it and find out it was a great choice to not do it. We keep chosing trying to find the path that brings the most peace and most joy. But the truth is, we don’t really know at times , many times, what the best choice is and when the feeling of fear is here to actually help and guide. Any thoughts ? Thank you in advance for your kind choice to spread your enlightenment
