your heart knows the way

A second chance. Starting over. A new beginning. These are our choices to make.

At any stage of life, there is the potential to become something different. Something new. To become someone new. Or as a dear friend has said to me, ‘No, it’s still you … it’s just another version of you’.

In my life, I’ve had a career, family and friends, love and loss. There have also been points of, what’s the word … crossroads, I suppose. Points at which there was a chance to take a new direction or a different path. I didn’t always take that chance.

What I also see is that, if we don’t learn a lesson in life, the same challenge will appear, and appear again until we learn the lesson. Sometimes it takes a while … it did for me.

But no matter how long it takes, or at what stage of the journey our directions change, what is important is that we pay attention. Pay attention to where we are. Pay attention to where – and who – we want to be.

These decisions are not made with our minds but come from our hearts.
