Many times in life we come to a crossroads. When the choices aren’t clear cut with no obvious right or wrong route to take, it’s a real challenge. If neither choice looks as if it would be a smooth, pain -free one, that makes it all the harder. What do you do when you can’t sleep for thinking about it, yet still can’t find the way forward?

which path do you take?

You give up.

Not what you expected me to say, I know. You thought I’d say dust yourself off and start again, didn’t you? But that’s been fruitless up until now. I have no reason to tell you to repeat the same old thing.

What I’m saying is you give up trying to think about it logically. Logic isn’t getting you anywhere or you’d know by now what was the right thing to do. So give your heart and intuition a chance to be heard instead. That’s not the easy option because we always hear the truth when we do. We’re so used to being such complicated souls, we don’t always like that. That’s why many refuse to listen and dismiss that as pie in the sky claptrap.They prefer to keep beating the drum to drown out any fleeting thoughts about who the drummer really is.

But when you’re tired of getting knocked down over and over by life, maybe it’s time to see that you alone are not the answer. You can’t find them because you don’t have them. Yet. But they’re out there, waiting for you to stop the madness and listen.

Give yourself a break. Clear a space in your mind and see what comes up. It may just be a little phrase or word to point you in the right direction, but it’s a start.
