“Making the decision to honor the wisdom of one's soul isn't always easy. It can bring into question our very sense of who we are. If we really listen to the truth bubbling up beneath the surface of our lives, things might change. We might have to face the fact that our inner wisdom and that which we have come to accept as true, safe and popular may be very different--a process that can be rather disconcerting, to say the least.”

“Creative leaps are not always graceful, beautiful, or turn out the way we think they will. We often feel ridiculous. Sometimes we take leaps spontaneously, completely unprepared for the changes that happen when we do. Other times we plan and debate, trying to get all our details perfect first. As soon as our feet have left the ground, we may convince ourselves we’ve made a mistake, simply because we are not used to how leaping feels.”

“Every now and then, we reach a point in life where we know it’s time for a change. It might start as feeling stuck or bored. We might feel sad about dreams that have not yet come true or frustrated that our old way of doing things isn’t working anymore. Or we may simply wish that we had more time, or more control over the limited time that we do have.
When we experience feelings like this, it’s natural to think they are personal, about us, who we are and the unique details of our lives. The truth is, however, we are not alone. People all over the world right now in this exact moment are having similar thoughts and feelings.”
“It’s easy to get lured into thinking that the answer is out there somewhere, in some magical program or guidebook, in some grand gesture or action we need to take. In my experience, the first step—often the most important leap of all—is one we take within.”
