I am in kind of a weird mood. I feel like there are things in my life that I should change that will propel my life in a new direction in a good way. At the same time, I am scared that I may be wrong. I mean , let's face it. I have never been number one on the decision making scale. There is a period of deep soul searching of my life coming to a close now. There are things and ideas and actions that I will have to take and others that I will have to stop taking in order for my heart and conscience to be right.
I'm not sure how I came to think of all of this, other than I have been looking inside myself for the past year. I have been trying to see what I might be able to do to improve my life overall and what I might be doing that is throwing my good vibe karma off.
It will all become clear to me I suppose. I heard a song the other day that said, "If you want to hear God laugh, tell him your plans."

It's not so much that we're afraid of change or so in love with the old ways, but it's that place in between that we fear . . . . It's like being between trapezes. It's Linus when his blanket is in the dryer. There's nothing to hold on to...Marilyn Ferguson
Learn wisdom from the ways of a seedling. A seedling which is never hardened off through stressful situations will never become a strong productive plant....Stephen Sigmund
Through pride we are ever deceiving ourselves. But deep down below the surface of the average conscience a still, small voice says to us, 'Something is out of tune'....Carl Jung
Your vision will become clear only when you look into your heart. Who looks outside, dreams. Who looks inside, awakens....Carl Jung
