"Life is not cer tain. There
are no guarantees . None.
Oppor tunities never come when
it ’s convenient . It ’s always
mes sy. People will judge and
criticise you whatever you do."
If I could be certain of the way forward,
I’d leave.
What will people think?
I’ll stay and make it work.
I won’t give up.
How could I be so ungrateful?
I’m too old now.
It’s too late.
Then I woke up.
I realised that it’s not going to be any
easier next year.
The way will show itself when I make a
commitment to myself.
I needed to trust the voice from inside -
my intuition.
Life is not certain.
There are no guarantees. None.
Opportunities never come when it’s
convenient. It’s always messy. People will
judge and criticise you whatever you do.
Listen to your intuition and you’ll
never go wrong. It always acts in your best
interests, even if it doesn’t quite look like
you expected it to.
In the words of Eleanor Roosevelt: “It’s
your life – but only if you make it so. The
standards by which you live must be your
own standards, your own values, your
own convictions in regard to what is right
and wrong, what is true and false, what
is important and what is trivial. When
you adopt the standards and the values of
someone else or a community or a pressure
group, you surrender your own integrity.
You become, to the extent of your surrender,
less of a human being.”
I know that by creating this freedom
for myself, something will happen. The
Universe responds to our intentions,
thoughts and emotions. My role in creating
a new future for myself is to hold the vision
of what I want and let the Universe step in.
