Lately, I have been feeling like a hamster running full speed on a wheel while getting nowhere. Agitation and frustration were two of the emotions I have been dealing with for the past few weeks. I am working hard to build my business, but in many ways have felt stuck. Having always known deep down that my purpose is to help others, not pinpointing the specific group I am to work with has been difficult. But today I experienced a much needed breakdown in order to achieve a breakthrough.
As I articulated my frustration to the great sounding boards, who are my parents, the mere release of pent up emotional energy through the shedding of some tears was tremendous. I was finally able to embrace the niche my heart has been longing for me to reach, while letting go of who I thought I was supposed to work with based on my background and other factors. Trying to focus my heart and energy in the wrong direction was not bringing me a sense of resonance or peace. I knew something was wrong with moving in that direction, but for some reason it was terribly difficult to let go of it. When that breakthrough came to me this afternoon, a huge weight was lifted from my shoulders.
My internal compass was having trouble finding north, but is now back on track. As I look back over the past few months it seems as though God was whispering directions to me. I am not always good at attending to His soft voice or quieting myself enough to hear it. Many times I prayed for direction and a clear answer. God answered those prayers by laying out the hints before me. He knows that I learn best by putting all the pieces of the puzzle together before I can see the big picture.
Is there an area of your life where you feel stuck and perhaps need to release your grip of control to find peace and freedom? When we feel restless in our spirit it is because there is something important we need to pay attention to. It may be something to walk away from, or something to walk toward. The key is in the letting go and opening of your hands to be lead onto the right path in your life.
