"For most people, the strongest externals come down to what other people think because fitting in is the path of least resistance. But fitting in is like embracing inertia. Social acceptance is the lowest common denominator of the self- it's you as a social unit rather than you as a unique person. Find out who you really are; let fitting in be the last thing on your mind. Either it will happen or it won't, but in either case, you will be in no more doubt about yourself." -Deepak Chopra
This resonates with me so much. There are moments in life where we get caught up in options. And instead of making a move that suits our souls, we stand still, or we choose the easy path because it's comfortable, or maybe even take the back seat approach and just observe. Because the truth is that it can be scary to do things for you like meditating or journaling because what you might hear is that things aren't the way they should be. You might just hear that you are capable of more. And that whisper of hope can be crippling rather than exhilarating. It's in these moments where we must pay attention. We must use our magical human power and awareness to our benefit.
So.. Here I am reminding myself that:
We are capable of getting out of our comfort zones, setting aside what everybody else thinks, and realizing the true us. I am at a crossroad of should and must and I believe I've been standing here for a bit. I know that my time is coming to make a choice and boy-oh-boy I am going to create a path that is perfectly mine.
