Crossroads

Imagine you find yourself at a crossroads every morning and that you must decide where to go next, without knowing what exactly is at the end of each road.
Most likely, after a while, when you come to realize you don’t have any particular signposts telling you where to go, you’ll start to use your intuition. You’ll look around in all directions for a moment and head down the path which attracts you the most. And you’ll most likely do that with total faith because what else could motivate you to choose that particular path?
That’s how it is with your entire life. Everything you do and everywhere you go requires some decisions to be made. And it doesn’t matter what those decisions are tied to, they’re all equally important for further progress because even the little things you make decisions about can have an impact on a lot of big things in your life.
And there are never any major signs based on which you can make a decision. There are never any certain signs because just when you become certain you’ve made the right choice, a new piece of information which can make you grow doubtful jumps out at you around the corner.
You can spend days or years waiting to make the right decision that way. And it will never even come. Do you know why? Because there is no right decision, because every decision you make is yours and that’s what makes it significant. Nothing wrong can enter your life because it’s your life, with all the things you’ve chosen for it.
And it’s precisely for that reason that you shouldn’t ask if you’ve made the right 22decision, you should have faith in the creator of everything in your life—in yourself.
And the best way to make decisions is when you ask yourself what to decide.
The answers might even come immediately; you’ll realize that something is starting to attract you more, or that you see something as making more sense. It doesn’t matter what it is, which path it is that has a greater shine for you, that has a greater energy and has started to attract you like a magnet. That’s not important for now. What is important is that you trust yourself, that you build a relationship with yourself that’s full of trust, that you don’t allow external circumstances to throw you off or fill you with fear.
The first thing you decide is what is best for you, everything else is a product of your mind, which has begun calculating and recalculating what would be best for you.
When the soul gets involved, there’s no room for intellect.
The two are not, and can’t be, related. That’s because intellect was given oblivion to forget the soul so that an awareness of something greater wouldn’t hinder it in its search for, and acceptance of, new experiences in this world.
Intellect is what can give you the most amazing answers, but it can also shut you down when you need answers most.
It’s up to you to learn the art of joining intellect together with the soul, merging the material with the non-material in order to get a picture of and insight into the entirety of existence.
So, the next time you’re standing at a crossroads and waiting for the right moment to get moving, free your mind of all thoughts and let your soul lead the way. And only after you’ve set out on that path, should you allow your intellect to take in and absorb everything that’s surrounding you, in order to one day understand and connect all into a whole.
Then you’ll be able to stand at any crossroads without any doubt as to your choice of path because you’ll know that there are no wrong answers, and you’ll believe in the magnificence of all your choices—all those which have enabled you to be what you are.
