Enjoy as You Grow

I felt excited as a flood of ideas and opportunities rushed through my mind. I felt charged and wanted to run with it to see where it would lead. 

I knew that I had to tell someone, even if they wouldn’t understand. When I was young, I’d get these charges of Inspiration and perceived them to be messages from the universe. I didn’t know what it meant or where it’d lead but if I felt it in my gut, I’d know that I wanted to find out. When I shared my excitement with the people around me, they’d start analyzing and called me reckless for wanting to follow the Inspiration without knowing. These reactions led me to keep my aspirations to myself and think more with my head than my heart. This led me to doubt what I felt and place my dreams aside.  

Recently, I wanted to open the energetic believer within me and find out what it might do. I found that sharing my inspiration while I’m charged helped to release the excitement and leads me to a calmer state to feel my aspiration. The excitement is just the spark that encourages me to discover. I know that the plan may never turn out as I imagined but connecting to the gut feeling gives me hope and helps me to trust with patience as the dreams unravel. 

I now know that I’m the only one who can feel the inspiration that sparks me. I don’t understand it immediately and the people around me aren’t meant to understand but it’s important for me to keep an open mind and acknowledge it to let it become real. Next time you feel silly and charged with inspiration, acknowledge it as guidance and keep listening with your heart to understand it. We’re allowed to enjoy as we grow!
