There is a little girl inside me stomping her feet and saying &#8220;but I want it and I have the money&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>It isn&#8217;t about the money.\u00a0 I have no idea of all of the possible ramifications of this decision. \u00a0I can&#8217;t possibly fathom what the Universe has in store for me.<\/p>\n<p>This is where I need to trust.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m choosing to follow the path that doesn&#8217;t necessarily make the most sense.\u00a0\u00a0 I have committed to listening and following my inner guidance.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s important to understand that if I didn\u2019t follow the guidance, the world would not end.\u00a0 \u00a0I wouldn\u2019t have made a wrong choice.\u00a0 I would have made a <i>different<\/i> choice which leads to other experiences and other lessons.\u00a0 That is okay.<\/p>\n<p>I will follow my inner guidance just the same.<\/p>\n<p>I will follow it because I trust my Soul and have made a commitment to listen.<\/p>\n<p>I trust that this decision will keep me on the path to live and\u00a0<i>give<\/i>\u00a0my best life.<\/p>\n<p>My Soul has never failed me.<\/p>\n<p>Your Soul will not fail you.<\/p>\n<p>Give it a try next time you need to make a decision and let me know how your path unfolds.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How are you when it comes to making decisions?\u00a0 Do you fret?\u00a0 Sweat?\u00a0 Maybe you make \u00a0lists of pros and cons.
